Well isn't that just great.
I'm using the amd64 version, don't know if this makes a difference.
The link says the poster expects it will be fixed before 7.1-RELEASE is
out. (Posting date was in late December.)
I just tried the FreeBSD 7.1 bootonly and the configure window at least
listed the device, which is an improvement over before. Now if it only
lists it but the driver doesn't work, then I still will have a
communication problem where I can't easily get the correct file to the
machine.
I'll just try installing 7.1 for now and see how it looks.
Thanks for the heads up anyway.

Here are the last two entries from the 'pciconf -lv' command, which look
relevant to the problem. I had to write them down on paper and walk
over to this room to type them. Please pardon any typos:
no...@pci0:2:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x2abf103c chip=0x816810ec
rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Realtek Semiconductor'
device = 'RTL 8168/8111 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
There seems to have been some breakage of the re(4) and rl(4) drivers in
the 7.1 release cycle. See [http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=130011]
You should try to get the files mentioned in the abovementioned link on
your machine, and rebuild your kernel.
