hi!

i've ported Kevin Lo's openbsd driver for these realtek chipsets to FreeBSD.
It works well enough for me to use on my laptop w/ RTL8125B / Killer E3000.
I'm now opening it up to others who are willing to build/run a kernel
module to test the driver out and report back.

The driver source is at https://github.com/erikarn/if_rge_freebsd/ along
with build instructions.

Please note that I'm only running this on -HEAD and I plan on landing it on
-HEAD before /maybe/ backporting it to stable/15 after the 15.0 release.
I've no idea if it compiles or runs on stable/15 or the 15.0 pre-release
images. If you're willing to give it a whirl then please do and report back
but I'm unlikely to add explicit earlier source tree support in this
repository (as again I'm going to land it in -HEAD.)

Thanks!
