Hi, I just installed snv_77 on a small machine that I intend to use as a fileserver. The motherboard I bought is an Asus M2N-VM, which has an integrated Realtek RTL8168/8111 Gigabit Ethernet NIC. From what I can gather, this should be supported by the rge driver, but I don't seem to be having any luck.
I had no network connectivity after installation, so I grepped the output of 'prtconf -v' for "Ethernet" and sure enough, device number 054c from vendor 10de (nVidia) shows up. I did an 'update_drv -a -i "pci10de,54c" rge' and that seemed to go fairly well. I followed it with 'ifconfig rge0 plumb'. After that, ifconfig reported a zeroed-out MAC address. /usr/X11/bin/scanpci turns up devices from vendor 10de (nVidia) and 1022 (AMD), but I've managed to account for just about all of them by using http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/iii/?i=10de. Interestingly, that site says 54c is an Ethernet controller on one specific motherboard, but even that is unconfirmed. If I'm correct, I should be seeing an entry for vendor 10ec, device 8168. Unfortunately, that doesn't show up. Has anyone had luck with this motherboard and/or network chip? Is there anything else I can do or should I give up and buy a NIC I know will work?
