Comment (by ttcoder):

 @korli -- ok so the driver compiles, and... it behaves differently from
 the nightly image's driver: it complains about unsupported hardware and
 then bails out and unloads.

 I first thought it was my fault, maybe the freebsd compatibility layer has
 changed since I cloned the repository (I only updated the driver source,
 not the rest), but it seems my build of the driver is justified in
 complaining about unsupported hardware, as my Rtl8111 has ID
 {{{0x48000000}}} and that value is nowhere to be found in
 {{{if_rlreg.h}}}.. So I added some extra tracing, result attached down
 here. What I'm describing will be more clear when reading it.

 Not sure if this all correlates or not with what you said about the PCI
 bridge as that is beyond my cognitive powers 8-)

 I have a plan B for attempting to hack the driver if we don't make
 progress but it is barbaric and brutal *grin*.. and probably won't work..
