Solved can't detect re0

B

I'm new user in FreeBSD v10.1 and try to connect to internet by re0 because I have Realtek 8111e onboard. But instead of detecting re0, it detected em0. How do I change this? When I try this command kldload -v /boot/kernel/if_re.ko the output is the file exist.
So I'm stuck with em0. What should I do?

Good news! That system does not have a Realtek Ethernet interface, but two of the far-better Intel interfaces. Just use em0 and em1.
 
How that could be, the FreeBSD is a second OS on virtual machine of VMware that works on windows 8.1 and when I check the system in Windows it shows me that my adapter is Realtek.

That is because the real hardware is not exposed to the virtual machines. The network adapters are emulated in the virtualization software and can be literally anything but usually they show as Intel NICs using the em(4) driver in FreeBSD.
