re(4) didn't require special PHY handling for 8169/8110
controllers. Did it ever work on older FreeBSD releases? I vaguely
remember nork@ (Norikatsu Shigemura) also said Carbus GbE
(RTL8169SBL) is not working but he could see successful attachment
of rgephy(4).
How about plugging UTP cable to controller before loading driver?
