+This driver is modified by Realtek Semiconductor corp. and it has been tested OK
+on FreeBSD v5.4, FreeBSD v6.4, FreeBSD v7.3, FreeBSD v8.0, and FreeBSD v9.0. To
+update the driver, you may use method 1. If method 1 failed, you must use method 2
+which is more complex.
+
+Method 1:
+	1.Copy if_re.ko in "modules" directory to "/modules" directory and overwrite
+	  the existing file.
+	2.Modify the file "/boot/defaults/loader.conf" and set "if_re_load" in "Network
+	  drivers" section to "Yes"
+	3.Reboot.
+
+Method 2:
+	Because the FreeBSD kernel has default drivers to support RTL8139C and RTL8169S. To use the RTL8139C+, RTL8169SB, RTL8169SC, RTL8168B, and RTL8101E, you need to update your NIC driver by recompiling your FreeBSD kernel.
+
+	The main steps you have to do:(FreeBSDSrcDir means the directory of FreeBSD source code
+	and it may be "/usr/src/sys")
+
+		1. keep the orginal driver source code:
+			# cd /usr/src/sys/dev/re
+			# cp if_re.c if_re.c.org
+
+			# cd /usr/src/sys/modules
+			# cp Makefile Makefile.org
+
+			# cd /usr/src/sys/modules/re
+			# cp Makefile Makefile.org
+
+			# cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/
+			# cp GENERIC GENERIC.org
+
+		2. recompile your kernel (you must install your FreeBSD source code first !!)
+			# vim /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC and delete re
+			# vim /usr/src/sys/modules/Makefile and delete re
+			# cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
+			# /usr/sbin/config GENERIC
+
+			(for FreeBSD 5.x/6.x/7.x/8.x/9.x)
+			# cd ../compile/GENERIC
+			(for FreeBSD 4.x)
+			# cd ../../compile/GENERIC
+
+			# make clean
+			# make depend
+			# make
+			# make install
+			# reboot
+
+		3. update the driver source code:
+		    Copy the driver source code( if_re.c and if_rereg.h) into /usr/src/sys/dev/re
+		    Copy the Makefile into /usr/src/sys/modules/re
+
+		4. build the driver:
+			# cd /usr/src/sys/modules/re
+			# make clean
+			# make
+
+		5. install the driver
+			(for FreeBSD 12 or later)
+			# cd /usr/obj/usr/src/<arch>.<arch>/sys/modules
+			# kldload ./if_re.ko
+			(for FreeBSD 11 or earlier)
+			# cd /usr/src/sys/modules/re
+
+			# kldload ./if_re.ko
+
+		6. configurate the static IP address
+			# ifconfig re0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
+
+		7. configurate the IP address by DHCP
+			# /sbin/dhclient re0
+
+The user can use the following command to change link speed and duplexmode.
+	1. For auto negotiation,
+		#ifconfig re<device_num> media autoselect
+
+	2. For 1000Mbps full-duplex,
+		#ifconfig re<device_num> media 1000baseTX mediaopt full-duplex
+
+	3. For 100Mbps full-duplex,
+		#ifconfig re<device_num> media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex
+
+	4. For 100Mbps half-duplex,
+		#ifconfig re<device_num> media 100baseTX -mediaopt full-duplex
+
+	5. For 10Mbps full-duplex,
+		#ifconfig re<device_num> media 10baseT/UTP mediaopt full-duplex
+
+	6. For 10Mbps half-duplex,
+		#ifconfig re<device_num> media 10baseT/UTP -mediaopt full-duplex
