[Bug 166724] if_re(4): watchdog timeout

--- Comment #94 from Chris Hutchinson <portmaster at bsdforge.com> ---
I'm just going to throw this out there for a couple of
reasons...
1) several people indicated the vendors driver solved
   it for them
2) I just bought a realtek card capable of 9k jumbo
   frames. But the re(4) kernel module built into the
   kernel wouldn't do 9k jumbo frames.
3) This will work even if you already have the re(4)
   module built in, or from /boot/kernel/

Please try the /usr/ports/net/realtek-re-kmod/
After you've either built and installed it, or
pkg(8) installed it. Add the following to loader.conf(5)

if_re_load="YES"
if_re_name="/boot/modules/if_re.ko"

I have zero trouble using this driver, and am also
able to use the 9k jumbo frames this card is capable
of managing.

HTH
