Excellent! Thank you!
Here is what I see, from ifconfig:
Code:
re0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
    lladdr 00:1b:fc:6f:ec:69
    priority: 0
    media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT half-duplex)
    status: no carrier
The NIC and its PHY are supported, and the specific chipsets are noted in the dmesg:
Code:
re0 at pci2 dev 0 function 0 "Realtek 8168" rev 0x01: RTL8168 2 (0x3800), apic 2 int 19, address 00:1b:fc:6f:ec:69
rgephy0 at re0 phy 7: RTL8169S/8110S PHY, rev. 2
This gives the appearance of a cable connection problem -- your 100Mbps NIC shows that it is training at 10Mb half duplex, without being able to connect to the Ethernet.
