For example, my nic is: re0@pci0:3:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x75811462 chip=0x816810ec rev=0x03 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Realtek Semiconductor' device = 'Gigabit Ethernet NIC(NDIS 6.0) (RTL8168/8111/8111c)' class = network subclass = ethernet Which works perfectly well with these settings: re0: flags=8943 metric 0 mtu 6000 options=3898 ether 00:24:21:e3:e7:50 inet 192.168.25.10 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.25.255 media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT ) status: active This wasn't always the case since when I first got this system jumbo frames and FreeBSD didn't work. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-net/2010-June/025506.html The missing functionality appears to have been added since then. >How-To-Repeat: View the re(4) man page vs what the re driver is capable of. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
