What kernel are you using? The re driver is enabled in the GENERIC
kernel of both i386 as well as amd64, but if you're using a custom kernel,
please make sure that
re* at pci? dev ? function ?
isn't commented out.
Alternatively, you could post the appropriate excerpt from dmesg.
FYI: the re-driver isn't new; it was present in 2.0 too.
