Hello,
I have installed v4.2 and using the GENERIC kernel. I am not able to
bring up the on-board NIC card. My motherboard is a Gigabyte
GA-945GCM-S2L. The on-board NIC is a Realtek 8111C.
Here is what dmesg reports on the card:
re0 at pci2 dev 0 function 0 "Realtek 8168" rev 0x02: unknown ASIC
(0x3c00), irq 10, address 00:00:00:00:00:00
rgephy0 at re0 phy 7: RTL8169S/8110S PHY, rev. 2
And the info from ifconfig:
re0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lladdr 00:00:00:00:00:00
media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT
full-duplex,loopback,master,rxpause,txpause)
status: active
When I manually bring the card up, I get: re0: PHY write failed
I confirmed the card/cable is working with Ubuntu 7.10 and winXP.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ted
