Hello Bernt!
Yes, you're right - that's interesting...
I only can state that with 7.0-RELEASE and with 7.0-STABLE-200807
(07/15/08) it doesn't work.
_But_ on 2008-07-15 there was a change made to the re driver which is
relevant for the RTL8168 as you can see here:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/re/if_re.c
Maybe with the current if_re.c it works and to test this I could build a
new kernel from CVS but I come home not until September. :-(
The only difference between our NICs which I see is the revision. Since
the revision of your chip is 0x01, the NIC's revision on my MoBo is 0x02 ...
Maybe that's the difference?
Thanks for your statement!
Regards,
Lukas

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.
I got an Gigabyte GA-MA790FX-DS5 with the same network chip and it's
working right out of the box. There are other issues with that motherboard.

So, does FreeBSD 7.0 work with these NICs or am I out of luck?
Regards and Many Thanks for your help!
