With re driver provided by FreeBSD kernel (9/10/11.x), system randomly crashed because ethernet driver stalls (and datarate is always less than 300mbps). With official realtek driver (v194.01), system now runs as expected (with datarate up to 1 Gbps). Internal re driver is broken on this ethernet adapter (maybe on several other adapters) : re0@pci0:2:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x78511462 chip=0x816810ec rev=0x0c hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.' device = 'RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller' class = network subclass = ethernet Regards, JKB
