I'm on 7.1-RELEASE/amd64 with the following card:

re0@pci0:2:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x368c1462 chip=0x816810ec rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Realtek Semiconductor'
    device     = 'RTL8168/8111 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC'
    class      = network
    subclass   = ethernet

And luckey me does not experience any network problems at all.

But I have to say that I was suffering an interrupt storm, and some
smart people told me just to remove USB and Firewire support from the
kernel which has fixed the problem.

Dunno if this helps you.
