Not a fix for rl, but if it's a newer one (8139C+ or 8101E) you should find that upgrading to a snapshot changes it to re(4), which uses a different method of accessing the card with better performance (e.g. better DMA, checksum offload, hw vlan tagging). Might be timely to point this out now, in case anyone does a remote upgrade on a box with one of these and ends up with no network because they didn't copy hostname.rl0 to hostname.re0 before they reboot with the new kernel.
