RTL8111/8168B NIC & FreeBSD

[Shteryana Shopova]

Hi,

I hit the same problem with the same chip on FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT #0
r258178 - the card would receive nothing or (perhaps not-so-)random
crap. ifconfig down/up and disabling RX/TX check-summing makes the
card work for me as a temporary workaround.

re0 at pci0:4:0:1:    class=0x020000 card=0x07981025 chip=0x816810ec
rev=0x14 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.'
    device     = 'RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller'
    class      = network
    subclass   = ethernet

cheers,
Shteryana
