The zeroed MAC address is of concern. If it is still zeroed without setting the lladdr manually, plugging in cables isn't going to help the issue with re0. I don't understand why it was zeroed and re1 was not.

That patch or something similar is in your release.
Code:
----------------------------
revision 1.145
date: 2013/10/11 14:00:18; author: jsg; state: Exp; lines: +23 -2
Add initial RTL8106E and RTL8168G/8111G support.
An earlier version didn't seem to work on a machine bmercer@
had access to a few months ago but this seems to work
with the onboard Ethernet in an ASUS Z87 board RD Thrush has.
----------------------------
You might make a formal report to the bugs@ mailing list, or an informal report to the misc@ mailing list. Either way, do include both your dmesg and your ifconfig output. If you refer to two NICs, please include that only one is connected but neither work.
I would use your -current snapshot rather than 5.5-release for your report. If you receive a patch to test, you won't be easily able to apply it without a functioning network. We can help you remotely, by building a kernel for you (if you trust us) to copy/paste to a USB stick and then copy to your root directory for testing.
