Hello, I recently installed 3.8/amd64 on a Sempron-based system with a VIA VT6102 based network interface. The network interface was detected, but no carrier was found. Everything else worked fine.
I don't see any reference to the VT6102 in either INSTALL.amd64 or INSTALL.i386. However, a Google search indicates that suppport was added in v2.8 and was tweaked in v3.0. I didn't really have the luxury to explore the issue much. After eliminating the cable as a possible issue, I installed another OS (NetBSD) and now have networking. However, I would much rather run OpenBSD. Has anyone had any luch with the VT6102 under 3.8? Thanks -- Iain Morgan
