says it support RTL8111

but i have FreeBSD 7.1

I have a 6.4 machine (about to be retired). On that machine, man 4 re says it supports the RTL8111S, but does not mention the RTL8111GR. My guess is that

in 7.1 it too says only about "S", i assumed that S and GR are only different chip revisions/different functionality, maybe one have builtin PHY other external etc. etc. but it's software compatible.

That's usual naming scheme of chips, but of course there may be exceptions.
