State-Changed-Why:  
Hello, I dont feel this is a PR but a general question. when you have a 
if_re(4) device (re0 in your ifconfig) that shows that at least the 
machine recognized the device. Perhaps you can test this with a cross 
cable directly to another machine or something like that. No carrier 
mostly means that it didn't detect the link, or that you didn't plug 
anything in. Could you please discuss this on the mailinglist 
(net@FreeBSD.org) first please and get back to me in case this is worth 
a PR? (http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net for more 
information about the mailinglist). Thanks!
