I just tried a clean install of 6.0 Beta 2, and still the same problem,
but now with additional error messages:
re0: link state changed to UP
re0: link state changed to DOWN
re0: link state changed to UP
re0: link state changed to DOWN
Over and over and over, whenever the LED on the network jack blinks.
Further research indicated that ACPI could be a problem, so I disabled
it by adding hint.acpi.0.disabled="1" to /boot/device.hints. This
produced a different error:
re0: 2 link states coalesced
re0: link state changed to DOWN
re0: 2 link states coalesced
re0: link state changed to DOWN
Over and over on every LED blink.

I did some more research, it appears that the Abit AA8-DuraMax actually
uses the RealTek RTL8100S chipset, not the 8169.
The hardware compatibility list for 5.4 shows support for the 8110S
chipset, but not my specific motherboard. Perhaps it is a new chip
revision?
I tried the patch by Dag-Erling Smørgrav from a similar thread (
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2005-March/011022.html
) but no luck.

Regrettably, i always encountered this problem. I spoke about that
since
the middle of 2004, and didn't really receive feedback on this. I try a
lot of things but none worked better than the other.
To not forget about it, i filled a bug report on this particular
problem,
see PR kern/80005 for more details.
The last thing i want to give another try is to upgrade to RELENG_6,
since i currently follow the RELENG_5 branch. But i am not *very*
confident about that...
Sorry not to have better answer to give you.
IIRC, I have a RTL8169S-based D-Link gigabit network card at home and
it works with FreeBSD just fine.
