Problem with re(4) Ethernet driver has resurfaced in 11-STABLE and HEAD
I recently updated my 10.1-STABLE to 11.0-STABLE and find I can no longer
connect with the Ethernet.
dhclient re0 produces
DHCPDISCOVER on re0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 4
DHCPDISCOVER on re0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 11
DHCPDISCOVER on re0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 19
DHCPDISCOVER on re0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7
DHCPDISCOVER on re0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 14
DHCPDISCOVER on re0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 5
No DHCPOFFERS received.
No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.

Problem shows much quicker in my recent build of HEAD (12-current), where
dhclient re0
gives just a couple lines screen output before crashing into debugger

Build host for 12-current installation was the recent build of 11.0-STABLE

It looks like I can connect to Internet with Hiro H50191 USB wireless adapter,
driver rsu, but I am not sure of its stability on 11.0-STABLE and 12.0-current..
