Yep. The 6.4 has the same thing. It looks like it did work. We had the Intel MB that had an Intel NIC and it was not supported on 6.4. I had ordered up the same MB with the Realtek NIC and just got it this morning. Seems to support it fine. Thanks for the posts.

I have a 6.4 machine (about to be retired). On that machine, man 4 re says it supports the RTL8111S, but does not mention the RTL8111GR. My guess is that

in 7.1 it too says only about "S", i assumed that S and GR are only different chip revisions/different functionality, maybe one have builtin PHY other external etc. etc. but it's software compatible.

That's usual naming scheme of chips, but of course there may be exceptions.
