i386/70832: [re] serious problems with RealTek NIC using re0 driver on Evo N1015v

[Remko Lodder]

Hello,

Would it be possible to checkout 6-STABLE? (which will become 6.3 at some
point) to see whether that already resolved the known issues or not?

And if that would be possible... -CURRENT is also undergoing major changes
which also could already have resolved the mentioned problems.

Thanks,
remko
