Hello, and welcome!
Nothing jumps out at me in the dmesg that indicates a problem. The
re(4) devices do not require externally distributed firmware, which s can cause operational grief when doing a new install -- those need a working NIC or another system in order to obtain firmware to get the NIC requiring external firmware to work.

Also the "ifconfig" shows 100Mbps cards, whereas they are 1Gbps ones.

I have that with an alc(4) NIC, which I understand is due to how the
phy is attached. Even so, this should not eliminate your use of the NICs.
I'd like to see the output of ifconfig(8).
Without that, I will attempt to guess: your NICs are assigned device numbers based on the order of hardware discovery, not on which is first/second or top/bottom or left/right. Swapping cables or device numbers of your hostname.* files might resolve the issue.
(Disclaimer: I may not be able to help even with ifconfig output.)
