Description

There is now a FreeBSD package for the 'official' Realtek driver, currently v1.96.04.

https://www.freshports.org/net/realtek-re-kmod/

This is needed for the new Realtek 2.5G devices but also runs with a lot more stability on numerous older devices.
Currently users are either compiling it themselves or uploading a random binary someone else compiled!
The pkg can be installed using 'pkg add' but the full path is needed and changes. There is also the risk of pulling in some incompatible dependency.

Adding this to our repo would remove those issues.
