Hello!

I've a GigaByte GA-X48-DQ6 Motherboard with a "RTL8168/8111 PCI-E Gigabit 
Ethernet NIC" and I've read that 7.0-RELEASE / amd64 should recognize these 
cards (by the "re" driver) but it doesn't in my case.

#uname -a :
FreeBSD  7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #0: Sun Feb 24 10:35:36 UTC 2008     
root at driscoll.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

#pciconf -lv :
[...]
none2 at pci0:4:0:0:       class=0x020000 card=0xe0001458 chip=0x816810ec 
rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Realtek Semiconductor'
    device     = 'RTL8168/8111 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC'
    class      = network
    subclass   = ethernet
[...]

So, does FreeBSD 7.0 work with these NICs or am I out of luck?

Regards and Many Thanks for your help!
Lukas
