That's damn weird. I'm positive my device is also stamped RTL8111B, and
it definitely reports hwrev 0x38000000 (I double checked).

Unfortunately, being able to distinguish between parts using the PCI
device ID is a lost cause. For example, the original 8169, the
the 8169S/8110S, and the 8169SB/8110SB all report 0x8169. For some
peculiar reason though, the 8169SC/8110SC will report 0x8167.
The 8168 and 8111 parts should both report 0x8168. (The main difference
between the 816x and 811x parts is the physical packaging which the
driver doesn't care about anyway.)

Anyway, for the time being I'm satisfied that all parts are detected.
With any luck I should hear from RealTek later today.
