Hi folks [yeah, I know it's ot, sorry ...] This is a standard freebsd 4.1-RELEASE box ... and am not able to config my network card. The card is a Dlink 530TX card (basically RTL8139). FreeBSD 4.1 detects it as a via-rhine though - and gives me vr0: <VIA VT3043 Rhine I 10/100BaseTX> at device 13.0 on pci1 vr0: couldn't map ports/memory device_probe_and_attach: vr0 attach returned 6 I searched deja - got 6 hits, 4 of which were the same question, two others totally unrelated For what its worth, I (twice) recompiled the kernel with device vr0 (it had device vr) and device miibus (which was already there) as I saw on the freebsd hardware help page. No use :( Here's some info ... jotunheim# kldload /modules/if_rl.ko Jan 3 13:07:42 jotunheim /kernel: linker_file_sysinit "if_rl.ko" failed to register! 17 Jan 3 13:07:42 jotunheim /kernel: linker_file_sysinit "if_rl.ko" failed to register! 17 Jan 3 13:07:42 jotunheim /kernel: module_register: module rl/miibus already exists!
