My new MSI Z77 MPOWER motherboard with onboard Realtek 8111E NIC is affected by this re(4) bug. Ethernet is recognized, but re(4) fails to connect, and memory becomes destabilized. Only Internet access in FreeBSD is with Hiro H50191 USB-stick wi-fi adapter, chipset RTL8191SU, device rsu. Similar problems with OpenBSD and DragonFlyBSD latest releases on live USB, but OK with NetBSD and Linux. Ability to run OpenBSD or DragonFlyBSD is very limited because of not being able to read my hard drive. OpenBSD lacks GPT support, while DragonFlyBSD recognizes my hard-drive partitions but can't mount any. Tom
