          It seem solved after enabling Flow Control and Master on my re0 interface.

          also need to add parameters in /boot/loader.conf
          hw.re.msi_disable=1
          hw.pci.enable_msix=0
          hw.pci.enable_msi=0

          I am not network expert, I dont know what these parameters but these two steps save my life. :D

          PS. This steps also solved my old old old issue: network performance 50% of gigabit speed

            Hi,
            I'm also having the same problem I got frequent re0 (LAN) watchdog timeout issue, with the powerd off no such problem.

            So, may I ask you how to enable the flowcontrol and master?

            Thanks!

              Interface -> "your realtek interface" -> Advanced

                I'm having these issues, I have no "Native" interfaces though, they are all VLANs, any way to set this on the base interface?

                  You could do it with the shellcmd package.

                    Hi apologise for resurrecting an old thread but how do you add the parameters to the boot\loader?

                    Thanks

                      You "add" to "loader.conf.local"  ;)

                        The above did not solve my problem alone rather a combination.

                        What fixed it for me was uploading a compiled version of realtek driver 1.92 if_re.ko to /boot/kernel/ and in /boot/loeader.conf.local add the following line: if_re_load="YES" then reboot and wupti.

                        I also however tick the 3 Disable hardware offloadings in System - Advanced - Networking

                        Heres some links that helped me solve my issue including the compiled if_re.ko, i hope it helps others having same problem.

                          How did you upload that compiled file to the /boot/kernel? I'm ready to do this and can't figure it out (I'm new to this – obviously).

                          Thanks!
