From a few random PCs I have running right now:

This one is running an old netbsd-8:

re0 at pci5 dev 0 function 0: RealTek 8168/8111 PCIe Gigabit Ethernet (rev. 0x15)
re0: interrupting at msi1 vec 0
re0: Ethernet address 18:31:bf:6b:a7:ed
re0: using 256 tx descriptors
rgephy0 at re0 phy 7: RTL8251 1000BASE-T media interface, rev. 0
re1 at pci8 dev 0 function 0: RealTek 8168/8111 PCIe Gigabit Ethernet (rev. 0x07)

re1: Ethernet address 00:13:3b:2f:6d:da
re1: using 256 tx descriptors

The others are all -current:
re0 at pci2 dev 0 function 0: RealTek 8168/8111 PCIe Gigabit Ethernet (rev. 0x15)
re0: interrupting at msix3 vec 0
re0: RTL8168H/8111H (0x5400)

No problems so far with any of those.
