Mike, thank you very much for your patience. Your question about the hardware suddenly made me remember that both these boxes had problems with the Realtek driver from base.

One of the boxes has a Realtek PCIe 2.5GbE NIC on the motherboard which doesn't work with the re driver from base at all. The card is seen in dmesg, but it does not show up with ifconfig and cannot get an IP assigned.

The other box has a Realtek PCIe GbE 1Gbit NIC on the motherboard which works with the driver re from base, however not without bugs, this bug particulary https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=166724

So in both cases I switched to the realtek-re-kmod driver from packages.

I have just tried with an Intel card in one of the boxes and the problem is gone.

I suspect there is a problem with the realtek-re-kmod driver.

Thanks all for your help!
