Not sure when this started, don't reboot that often ;)

From dmesg

rl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.0.13 netmask 0xffff0000 broadcast 192.168.255.255
        inet6 fe80::248:54ff:fe82:b88b%rl0 prefixlen 64 tentative
scopeid 0x1
        ether 00:48:54:82:b8:8b
        media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
        status: no carrier

This appears to be cosmetic as all network services come
straight up. Appears on several (all?) M/C.

%ifconfig

        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active

I'll try a fresh install as soon as it builds.
