Is my onboard network chip supported.

It's a Realtek. Most of these are supported, but Realtek seems to roll out a new revision every week, and sometimes the driver does not know about the latest revisions.

Gigabyte makes some Intel chipset motherboards that come with the new Intel I217-V on board instead of a Realtek. I doubt that any of the AMD chipset motherboards have them, they are probably integrated into the Intel chipset. But an Intel NIC could be added.
 
FWIW, my Gigabyte F2A85XM-HD3 (not the same board, chipset, but still) has this one:
Code: 
root@kg-v2# pciconf -lv | grep -A4 re0
re0@pci0:2:0:0:	class=0x020000 card=0xe0001458 chip=0x816810ec rev=0x06 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Realtek Semiconductor'
    device     = 'Gigabit Ethernet NIC(NDIS 6.0) (RTL8168/8111/8111c)'
    class      = network
    subclass   = ethernet
root@kg-v2# uname -a
FreeBSD kg-v2.kg4.no 8.4-STABLE FreeBSD 8.4-STABLE #7 r256430: Sun Oct 13 19:43:35 CEST 2013
     root@kg-v2.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64
It works.
Hope it helps.
 
Thanks for the reactions. I guess I'll just chance it. In the worst case I'll have to add a network adapter. Not the preferred solution, but if all else fails.. :). Thanks again!
