This card is on a Dell Inspiron. It works perfectly on 8.x. Dmesg on 8.2
reports it as:

   re0: <RealTek 8101E/8102E/8102EL/8103E PCIe 10/100baseTX>

pciconf:

re0@pci0:4:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x04341028 chip=0x813610ec rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
     vendor     = 'Realtek Semiconductor'
     device     = 'Realtek 10/100/1000 PCI-E NIC Family all in one NDIS Driver v5.728.0604.2009 06/04/2009 (Rtl8023)'
     class      = network
     subclass   = ethernet

On 9.0 I got it to work once or twice out of a couple of dozen tries.

9.0 dmesg reports:

   re0: RealTek 8139C+/8169/8169S/8110S PCI ...

The release docs imply the card is supported. I did not see a PR. Anyone else 
with similiar issues?
