    I'm sorry. After to have build the stable of the 17 Aug, my RTL
    8139D (device rl0) stopped working. The card is correctly
    recognized at boot (as rl0) and its status (in ifconfig) is
    active, but it doesn't receive/transmit data. I also have tried
    to change the card with a D-link DFE-528TX (same chipset of
    the 530TX+) but the result is the same.
    However I have noted which on another machine with the same card
    and freebsd stable at 14 Aug all works very wheel.

    Now I have ran cvsup for recover the source of the 13 Aug and try
    again but that machine is not a potency :)

    Sorry for my poor English.
