Hi all,
just purchased the above mentioned board:
http://www.intel.com/products/desktop/motherboards/D945GSEJT/D945GSEJT-overview.htm
and this board claims to come with a so called:
Realtek 8111D
network (10/100/1000m) chipset onboard.
Digging in -current and google.com/ncr revealed that this certain
board/nic seems to be not supported by the -CURRENT- if_re.c provided
by FreeBSD. Some further investigations reveals that OpenBSD claims to
support this (most prolly) precious chipset (8111D) within their 4.5
release:
http://www.openbsd.org/45.html
(searching for 8111D will point you to re(4))
My question(s) is(are):
a) does anyone run this board without flaws on fbsd-current
with its intergrated 8111D NIC
( my 'failover' option is to run this board using xl thanks to
it's pci slot)
b) if a) doesn't apply - how did you get it working on current/stable
without another driver
c) OpenBSD mentions this one ( 8111D support ) in their release notes
for a _stable_ version ( 4.5 )- but I cannot even see support for
this specific device in FreeBSD trunk/head
d) realtek itself does provide drivers for even FreeBSD (sources)...
... are there any experiences using those drivers
To make a long story short/and to be honest...
... I'd like to see native support in at least -current.
TIA,
frank reppin
