Synopsis: FreeBSD doesn't recognise RTL8101E

Responsible-Changed-Why: 
re(4) calls me again.

According to the Chip/MAC revision number shown by re(4), the
controller in question is RTL8401E PCIe Fast Ethernet controller.
re(4) has no support for the controller at this moment. I don't
have RTL8401E hardware but I'll let you know when I have an
experimental patch.

BTW, It's strange that the controller works with NetBSD/OpenBSD.
Maybe their driver has a bug in recognizing Chip/MAC revision. The
controller is fairly recent one and it may need to poke other
undocumented registers to wake up from power down.
