Description:

Realtek PCIe FE / GBE / 2.5G / Gaming Ethernet Family Controller kernel driver. This is the official driver from Realtek and can be loaded instead of the FreeBSD driver built into the GENERIC kernel if you experience issues with it (eg. watchdog timeouts), or your card is not supported. Supported devices: * 2.5G Gigabit Ethernet - RTL8125 / RTL8125B(S) * 10/100/1000M Gigabit Ethernet - RTL8111B / RTL8111C / RTL8111D / RTL8111E / RTL8111F / RTL8111G(S) RTL8111H(S) / RTL8118(A)(S) / RTL8119i / RTL8111L / RTL8111K - RTL8168B / RTL8168E / RTL8168H - RTL8111DP / RTL8111EP / RTL8111FP - RTL8411 / RTL8411B * 10/100M Fast Ethernet - RTL8101E / RTL8102E / RTL8103E / RTL8105E / RTL8106E / RTL8107E - RTL8401 / RTL8402 WWW: https://www.realtek.com/en/component/zoo/category/network-interface-controllers-10-100-1000m-gigabit-ethernet-pci-express-software

pkg-message:

If installing:

Add the following lines to your /boot/loader.conf to override the built-in FreeBSD re(4) driver. if_re_load="YES" if_re_name="/boot/modules/if_re.ko" By default, the size of allocated mbufs is enough to receive the largest Ethernet frame supported by the card. If your memory is highly fragmented, trying to allocate contiguous pages (more than 4096 bytes) may result in driver hangs. For this reason the value is tunable at boot time, e.g. if you don't need Jumbo frames you can lower the memory requirements and avoid this issue with: hw.re.max_rx_mbuf_sz="2048"

Mark this driver as x86-only: includes x86-specific definitions.

It *appears* that this code and sys/dev/re/if_re.c have common ancestry
but this is not obvious to a casual observer.  ISTM there would be a
very significant merge/re-engineering effort to produce a superset.
