In gigabit networks if_re is not very stable card - needs

(Wired) RealTek(-based) cards in general have a very bad
reputation under FreeBsd. See the archives for examples.

No offence meant, but why would you like to upgrade a home network to
Gbit? Is it required at all?
Say for instance you have three 'items' on your home network trying to
communicate with a central box on your

This is a useless response. Why do you feel the need to question his
intentions?
Maybe he wants faster throughput. Maybe he'd like to utilize GigE
speeds on a switch he bought. Maybe he

At any rate, why really doesn't matter.
Why really does matter.
the most commonly found reasons are:
a) because my friend already have
b) because it's better, more new, more advanced technology.
c) because it's faster.
in most cases the older one is fast enough and good enough :)
Intel's (en driver) cards just works(TM) :) avoid realtek's re.

. When I do build the NAS, I will
certainly be looking for a good FreeBSD supported gigabit ethernet card.
Do I really need gigabit? Of course not. But I don't really need
most of the stuff I do.

If all three items at home are trying to connect with/through this
central box simultaneously, then you now have theoretically 600Mpbs

Gigabit only gets 30MB/sec on a good day.
Depends on how fast one's disks are. 30MB/sec is about normal these
days for real world disk thruput.
Haven't fiddled much
decisions I make today keep that goal in mind. Thus, I am migrating
to gigabit on my home network. When I do build the NAS, I will
certainly be looking for a good FreeBSD supported gigabit ethernet
card.
