I have this interface in an Intel NUC,

re0 at pci0:3:0:0:	class=0x020000 card=0x20678086 chip=0x816810ec rev=0x15 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.'
    device     = 'RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller'
    class      = network
    subclass   = ethernet


and I have had serious problems running an iSCSI initiator with some work load.  I tried both the
builtin “re” driver in FreeBSD and the 1.94.01 version driver available from the Realtek website
with similar results.


More or less the same workload on a different machine with Intel “em” cards and 
the same FreeBSD version works.
