Some additional information, I'm running 5.2.1 btw.
pciconf -lv gives the following information
re0@pci0:10:0: class=0x020000 card=0x816910ec chip=0x816910ec rev=0x10
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Realtek Semiconductor'
device = 'RTL8169 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
this is what shows up in dmesg
re0: <RealTek 8110S Single-chip Gigabit Ethernet> port 0xe000-0xe0ff mem
0xe3000000-0xe30000ff irq 1
2 at device 10.0 on pci0
re0: Ethernet address: 00:50:fc:ec:5c:5b
miibus1: <MII bus> on re0
rgephy0: <RTL8169S/8110S media interface> on miibus1
rgephy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, 1000baseTX,
1000baseTX-FDX, auto
