re driver woes

I recently reinstalled dfly using the 1.0 Release ISO. I have not yet
updated or rebuilt my kernel using latest sources.

Originally when I tried out the re driver it worked great and without any
issues.

However, since 1.0 Release I have been unable to use the driver.

Here are the problems summarized:
1) driver takes a long time to recognize that a cable is plugged in

2) driver after loading and attempting a dhclient on re0 causes livelock
warnings to go crazy causing me to have to hard reboot the system since it
becomes unresponsive

I don't know why it suddenly doesn't work anymore, but thanks for any
assistance in this matter. In the meantime I have placed a 3COM network
card in the box that works fine (3c90x).
