>Organization:
Endres Consulting Pty Ltd
>Environment:
FreeBSD io 9.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE #0: Mon Nov  4 14:34:42 EST 2013     root@io:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/GENERIC  i386
>Description:
The re Realtek ethernet driver is returning packets on receive that have their content replaced by all zeroes. All uni-cast packets are affected, multi-cast
seems to be received intact as verified using tcpdump.

This occurs both under i386 and amd64.

The driver supplied by Realtek as rtl_bsd_drv_v183.tgz and compiled following
their instructions works correctly.

Hardware is:

re0@pci0:3:0:0:	class=0x020000 card=0x20d91b0a chip=0x816810ec rev=0x07 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.'
    device     = 'RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller'
    class      = network
    subclass   = ethernet

>How-To-Repeat:
load 9.2-release (i386 or amd64) using live-fs from DVD on system with Realtek adapter, configure interface and use tcpdump to view packets.
>Fix:
Install driver supplied by Realtek rtl_bsd_drv_v183.tgz as per included instructions.
