    net/realrek-re-kmod198: add port for 198 version
    
    as a workaround for bug 275882. This port can be retired when the bug is
    resolved completely.
    
    Many people need the 198 version because of the hang-up issue. Another
    set of people need 199 because of another issue. This port is needed to
    satisfy both sets of people until complete until a complete solution for
    275882 is found.

+Realtek PCIe FE / GBE / 2.5G / Gaming Ethernet Family Controller
+kernel driver.
+
+This is the official driver from Realtek with a few patches to
+improve stability and performance. It can be loaded instead of
+the FreeBSD driver built into the GENERIC kernel if you experience
+issues with it (eg. watchdog timeouts), or your card is not supported.
+
+Supported devices:
+
+* 2.5G Gigabit Ethernet
+  - RTL8125 / RTL8125B(S)(G)
+
+* 10/100/1000M Gigabit Ethernet
+  - RTL8111B / RTL8111C / RTL8111D / RTL8111E / RTL8111F / RTL8111G(S)
+    RTL8111H(S) / RTL8118(A)(S) / RTL8119i / RTL8111L / RTL8111K
+  - RTL8168B / RTL8168E / RTL8168H
+  - RTL8111DP / RTL8111EP / RTL8111FP
+  - RTL8411 / RTL8411B
+
+* 10/100M Fast Ethernet
+  - RTL8101E / RTL8102E / RTL8103E / RTL8105E / RTL8106E / RTL8107E
+  - RTL8401 / RTL8402

+Add the following lines to your /boot/loader.conf
+to override the built-in FreeBSD re(4) driver.
+
+if_re_load="YES"
+if_re_name="/boot/modules/if_re.ko"
+
+By default, the size of allocated mbufs is enough
+to receive the largest Ethernet frame supported
+by the card.  If your memory is highly fragmented,
+trying to allocate contiguous pages (more than
+4096 bytes) may result in driver hangs.
+For this reason the value is tunable at boot time,
+e.g. if you don't need Jumbo frames you can lower
+the memory requirements and avoid this issue with:
+
+hw.re.max_rx_mbuf_sz="2048"
