Hi Antony,

OK, I've removed all references to if_rl and if_re from the
loader.conf file, so this error is not occuring any more.

I'm not sure how to add the PCI device ID to the driver. The output
from the `pciconf -lv` command is rather long, but here it is. The
last 8 or so lines seem to be the ones of importance for this problem.
I'm a bit puzzled by the line that says:

The "card=0x00000000" is a worry. Thanks heaps for your help.
