That fixed it.  For the archives, this particular xl (on
a Dell mainboard) is not compatible with a Netgear DS-106
"dual-speed hub" at 100MB, at least using the driver that
shipped with FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE.  (I haven't tried other
xl's, or other FreeBSD versions.)  It does work with a
Netgear FE-104 100-only hub.
