Are you sure it's Realtek's fault as opposed to a bug in FreeBSD's re driver? I have two computers with MSI motherboards, each with Realtek 8111E Ethernet on-motherboard. re works fine on the first, recognizes the second but fails to connect. Same story with re driver in OpenBSD and DragonFlyBSD running from USB. NetBSD works fine with both, not only current but going back at least as far as 5.2-STABLE. So does Linux. Not sure about other versions of Realtek 8111E-related chip. Tom
