    In FreeBSD 6.0-RC1, with a gigabit link, the re driver got continuous
    watchdog timeouts and could not be used, although somehow the arp table
    got populated anyway.

    In FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE, the re driver seems to work with ACPI disabled,
    but with ACPI enabled, it still gets watchdog timeouts (and also the
    fascinating message, "2 link states coalesced"). (ACPI also prevents
    the floppy disk from working, but that's another issue.) I have a
    FIC VA-503+ motherboard.

    I'm perfectly happy to run with ACPI disabled, but if there's something
    I can try to find out what's going on, I'd be happy to try it ...
