RealTek 8168B/8111B PCIe Gigabit Ethernet

[Jim Pazarena]

I have seen many questions about realtek ethernet not working correctly
across multiple groups (questions/amd64/hardware), but never any answers.

Now I've purchased an AMD motherboard with a RealTek ethernet, and while
the AMD FBSD 6.2 (& 6.3rc1) identify the card, assign a device (re0), and
state it is working, it cannot actually speak out of it.

Are there any words of wisdom regarding getting this flavour of ethernet to
actually _work_ ?

TIA
