With the realtek 8111e network controller (on the Asus P8P67 motherboard), dmesg notes the following:

re0: <RealTek 8168/8111 B/C/CP/D/DP/E PCIe Gigabit Ethernet> port 0xd000-0xd0ff mem 0xd2104000-0xd2104fff,0xd2100000-0xd2103fff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci7

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
I have done some searching and note that some folks had similar problems and were able to patch the if_rlreg.h file or others, but I'm not sure what to do about the 8111e.
