Pyrun,
I hope you are doing well.
Thank you for the patch, and your good attempt to help with this issue.
I spent 2 hours with the patch it did detect the Ethernet as re0 but the
network did not work at all even though it said connected at auto 100 mbps
full duplex. The server sent out a packet storm of arp traffic or some kind
of traffic which caused a lot of problems in my overall network. I'm not
exactly sure what happened but maybe you know about it. So I removed the
patch and used the rl0 driver from Realtek again.
It's very strange I didn't see anything like it before.
