 Not to sound rude but please unassign (remove) yourself from this bug
 since you are unable to get it fixed.  This will allow another developer
 to work on it.  Or resolve the issue why you cannot import to vendor tree
 & update and fix it yourself.  Choose one or the other.  I would really
 like to see this easy bug closed soon.

 I say this because 1) an easy fix ( replace with newer FreeBSD driver )
 and 2) many newer laptops coming with newer Realtek network chipsets which
 are currently unsupported.  People starting to run into this bug & have no
 networking.

 @Rudolfc[[BR]]
 The fix is simple.  Replace two FreeBSD files in Haiku source & comment
 out the IDs for 8168/8169 since already have a Haiku driver for those.
 Compile & should work.  Location of files listed above in ticket.
