Supposedly the "re" driver in FreeBSD CVS supports the Realtek 8169, as 
of September 2003.

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/re/
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/modules/re/

Realtek support seems to be completely missing from DragonFly, which I'm 
sure is because of the driver cleanups or my ignorance in not being able 
to find it.

Thanks.
