Have you tried anything else than FreeBSD 9.0 on this board? I ask because I 
have a E35M1-I which seems to have the same chip:
tingo@kg-f3$ pciconf -lv | grep -A 4 re0
re0@pci0:4:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x84321043 chip=0x816810ec rev=0x06 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Realtek Semiconductor'
    device     = 'Gigabit Ethernet NIC(NDIS 6.0) (RTL8168/8111/8111c)'
    class      = network
    subclass   = ethernet

and this one runs FreeBSD 8.2 without problems:
tingo@kg-f3$ uname -a
FreeBSD kg-f3.kg4.no 8.2-RELEASE-p7 FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE-p7 #0: Thu May  3

  amd64

(disclaimer: this is a FreeNAS box)
and I regularly push large amounts of data (via scp) to it - it is my backup 
machine.
