Hello,
I have installed DragonFly on my laptop and everything is working for me
so far excluding the ethernet card. When the machine starts, I notice
the following messages are appearing in dmesg.

re0: <RealTek 8111/8168 PCIe Gigabit Ethernet> port 0x3000-0x30ff mem
0xf1000000-0xf1003fff,0xf1004000-0xf1004fff irq 19 at device 0.0 on pci5
re0: Hardware rev. 0x50800000; PCI-E 125MHz
re0: PHY write failed
re0: PHY write failed
re0: MII without any phy!
device_probe_and_attach: re0 attach returned 6

I have updated to the latest development build to see if the issue was
resolved which is where this dmesg output was obtained from. I was just
wondering if there is a setting I might try changing or if this
particular model of card is not supported yet. Thanks in advance.
