Hello,

I've come across a motherboard (Kontron 986LCD/mBGA) with an apparently  
new (in that it seems not to be supported by re(4)) revision of an  
RTL8168-based chipset. pcictl says it's revision id 0x01. Does anyone have  
a driver for this? Otherwise: I don't really get how I have to set the  
"revision"-field in that struct in if_re_pci.c such that it at least feels  
responsible for the device... 0x02000001 is what pcictl's 3rd column says.  
If it's likely that the chip will just work when matched, can I somehow  
derive the entry for the revision in if_re_pci.c from pcictl's output (or  
anywhere else)? (The other BSDs don't match it, yet, either.)

TIA.
