I am installing FreeBSD 8.1 on an MSI wind notebook, which has a
RealTek 8201 wireless chip. The kernel acknowledges the chip as
rlphy0 on mii but I have no idea of how to actually configure it.
It shows up as miibus/rlphy in kldstat and as dev.rlphy.0
It does not show up under ifconfig
Thanks in advance

Have you read this?
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-wireless.html
I have. I have no problem setting up wireless interfaces on other
computers where there is a known/accepted driver and an ifconfig entry.
If I try and create the wlan0 device using "# ifconfig wlan0 create
wlandev rlphy0" I get the following
# ifconfig : SIOCIFCREATE2: Device not configured
I have read through a variety of man pages and I can't figure out how
to tell ifconfig there is a device rlphy0 which attaches to sysctl -
dev.rlphy.0
I have found an entry under the miibus man:
A generic driver has been included for all PHYs that
are not handled by a specific driver, this is possible because
all 10/100
PHYs implement the same general register set along with their
vendor spe-
cific register set.
but I can find no info on how to use that driver or get it to show up
under ifconfig. If I list all interfaces under ifconfig, I just get
re0 and lo0
Thanks for the reply.
Mark
