Hmm, after command 'ifconfig re0 up' status changed to  'active',
media to '100baseTX <full-duplex>' and everything work fine (dhclient
re0). What time have I had to type "up" explicitly to make it work
since?

On my desktop with age(4):
without cable:
age0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
	 options=319b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,WOL_MCAST,WOL_MAGIC>
         ether 00:1b:fc:d4:7d:b3
         media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
         status: no carrier
Now I'll plug cable into NIC:

age0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
	 options=319b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,WOL_MCAST,WOL_MAGIC>
	 ether 00:1b:fc:d4:7d:b3
         media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
         status: active
in that case I haven't "RUNNING" in flags field too, that flag and flag
'UP' appeared after I assing IP to age0

age0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0
mtu1500
	 options=319b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,WOL_MCAST,WOL_MAGIC>
         ether 00:1b:fc:d4:7d:b3
         inet 192.168.9.240 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.9.255
