Can the reporter provide any additional details? The version of FreeBSD tried and the relevant output from "dmesg" and "pciconf -lv" would be a good start.

I have a FreeBSD box with an onboard RTL8111E and it works fine with the re(4) driver:

re0: <RealTek 8168/8111 B/C/CP/D/DP/E/F/G PCIe Gigabit Ethernet> port 0xe000-0xe0ff mem 0xfea00000-0xfea00fff,0xfc800000-0xfc803fff irq 32 at device 0.0 on pci1

It is worth noting that while the NIC was identified and the driver attached in FreeBSD 10.0, It was not fully functional until 10.0-STABLE (and upcoming 10.1).

batch change:

For bugs that match the following
-  Status Is In progress 
AND

DO:

Reset to open status.


Note:
I did a quick pass but if you are getting this email it might be worthwhile to double check to see if this bug ought to be closed.

I vote to close it. I haven't had any issues with RLT8111E since 10.0 and I've been actively using the hardware since then (now on 11.x).
