>Description:
I have a NIC with the Realtek 8111C on a Gigabyte GA-EP43-DS3L.
However, the if_re driver doesn't always attach. I have not found out when it does or doesn't, it seems to be random, once it has attached, which is rarely the case, it works fine though.
if_re prints the following messages ..
. if it works:
re0: <RealTek 8168/8168B/8168C/8168CP/8168D/8111B/8111C/8111CP PCIe Gigabit Ethernet> port 0xd000-0xd0ff mem 0xe9010000-0xe9010fff,0xe9000000-0xe900ffff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci4

. if it doesn't work:
