Yes, it's in re(4) -- RTL8168/8111/8111c.
The man page doesn't seem to specifically address it but it does work fine.

Yes, it's in re(4) -- RTL8168/8111/8111c.
The man page doesn't seem to specifically address it but it does
work fine. I'm running stable on the box with these chips now but
I'm pretty sure 8.1 RELEASE was on here at one point and ran fine.

test with Gigabit):

I hav a mobo with the same NIC, I use it on a FreeNAS box that's runing a
version based on FreeBSD 6.3.
In order to make the NIC work i had to compile the drivers from realtek with
an other FreeBSD box and load the module on startup.

... I thought I'd try copying the driver from 7.1. The module
(if_re.ko) appears to load successfully at boot time, however
the NIC is still not shown in dmesg and unavailable as re0.
I admit I don't know if this should even work (7.1-compiled
module on 6.3 kernel) ...
That would indeed not

My mistake. I'm using 8111B not 8111C. Sorry.

Have you tried this patch instead of the Realtek driver ?
Did you get the same problems that described ?
