[Shteryana Shopova]

Hm,

It's neither -

re0: <RealTek 8168/8111 B/C/CP/D/DP/E/F/G PCIe Gigabit Ethernet> port
0x2000-0x20ff mem 0xd1404000-0xd1404fff,0xd1400000-0xd1403fff irq 18
at device 0.1 on pci4
re0: Using 1 MSI-X message
re0: ASPM disabled
re0: Chip rev. 0x5c800000
re0: MAC rev. 0x00000000

cheers,
Shteryana
