  As long as you're thinking about the re/rl driver, I have been
meaning to report to you that the patch you've posted for 6-STABLE
has been working fine on 6.4-RELEASE with a Gigabyte motherboard using
an onboard RTL8168 Gigabit Ethernet chip.

  It was unidentified with 6.4-RELEASE, but after I applied the patches
I found described at 
  http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/re/6.x/README 
and rebuilt the kernel, it was detected and worked properly.  (I don't
have a Gigabit switch, so I'm only running at 100baseTX at present.)
