Hello list,

I've upgraded a Hetzner EX5 server from:
FreeBSD 9.3-STABLE #8 r275693: Thu Dec 11 00:09:40 UTC 2014
to:
FreeBSD 9.3-STABLE #9 r299864: Sun May 15 21:14:01 UTC 2016

the server has this realtec nic according to "pciconf -lv"
re0@pci0:6:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x75221462 chip=0x816810ec rev=0x02
hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.'
    device     = 'RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller'
    class      = network
    subclass   = ethernet

the nic gives the following dmesg lines:
re0: <RealTek 8168/8111 B/C/CP/D/DP/E/F/G PCIe Gigabit Ethernet> port
0xe800-0xe8ff mem 0xfbeff000-0xfbefffff,0xf6ff0000-0xf6ffffff irq 16 at
device 0.0 on pci6
re0: Using 1 MSI-X message
re0: Chip rev. 0x3c000000
re0: MAC rev. 0x00400000
miibus0: <MII bus> on re0
rgephy0: <RTL8169S/8110S/8211 1000BASE-T media interface> PHY 1 on miibus0
rgephy0:  none, 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 10baseT-FDX-flow, 100baseTX,
100baseTX-FDX, 100baseTX-FDX-flow, 1000baseT, 1000baseT-master,
1000baseT-FDX, 1000baseT-FDX-master, 1000baseT-FDX-flow,
1000baseT-FDX-flow-master, auto, auto-flow
re0: Using defaults for TSO: 65518/35/2048
re0: Ethernet address: 40:61:86:e9:d0:63

After the upgrade the problem is that the nic just stops working after a
while - 10, 15, 20 minutes. a down/up cycle fixes it for a while. No
messages in dmesg or /var/log/messages.

Is this a known issue? Any suggestions I can try? Any other details needed?

Thanks!

/Thomas
