Apologies for following up on myself, but I just now found this: https://support.freenas.org/ticket/894 This thread would suggest that I ain't alone in experienceing this problem with the RTL8110S. That other guy apparently solved his problem by just simply switching to a CAT6 cable. I however am already using CAT6 cables, and the problem for me still exists. I tried adding: media 1000baseTX to my ifconfig_re0= line in my /etc/rc.conf file (and then rebooting), however when I did that, a subsequent "ifconfig -a" showed that indeed, the card had now been correctly configured to speak 1000baseT, however it also said: status: no carrier even though the thing most definitely _is_ still plugged in to my E2000 router, and I could not ping anything else, even on my own LAN. So I'm still stuck, and still looking for an answer. How can I get this card working at gigabit speed?
