The only thing which helps is reboot.

I just finished working on a Via C3-mini ITX box, also with a vr0 interface; it's not a laptop, but I felt it needed to suspend anyway. Suspend into S3 causes the vr0 to hang on resume, in my case with regular vr0: watchdog timeout messages.

Solution: reset the driver.

Implementation: build a custom kernel with _no_ vr interface built in. Make sure vr is built as a module. In the suspend script, unload the module. In resume, reload it, then run rc.d/netif and rc.d/routing. For simple machines with uncomplicated interfaces and routing, that ought to do the trick.

Just bought a ECS P4M800-M7 (V3.1), and had some problems on vr0 with FreeBSD 6.0. Without carrier, system hangs. With cable plugged in, vr0 doesn't work properly. Dhclient fails. Even manually ifconfig vr0 to a IP, machine cannot ping the gateway.
Plugged in a fxp0 NIC and dhclient works on fxp0.
So, I wonder if this vr driver issue or is it a bad NIC? (vr0 is on board NIC).
