dhclient failure with Realtek 8111E Etnernet on new MSI motherboard

[Thomas Mueller]

for MSI Z77 MPOWER motherboard:

Ethernet chip data for older motherboard, MSI Z68MA-ED55(B3), is

re0 at pci0:3:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x76761462 chip=0x816810ec rev=0x06 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.'
    device     = 'RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller'
    class      = network
    subclass   = ethernet

So I still can not connect on the newer motherboard as I can with the older motherboard, despite the same chip; card has a different ID.
