Re: dhclient failure with Realtek 8111E Ethernet on new MSI motherboard
For a future test of any updates to re driver, it might be best if I comment out device re in kernel config and test the update by building the module. I never built just a single module before, not sure if I would do it the correct way. Simply make in /usr/src/sys/modules/re and then make install or copy the resulting module files? Maybe check the kernel source in NetBSD-current source tree? I am not sure how to configure an Ethernet connection without DHCP or even if it would work.

Re: dhclient failure with Realtek 8111E Ethernet on new MSI motherboard
from Daniel Nebdal: Ethernet without DHCP is fairly doable. Assuming that the network is 192.168.0.x , that .100 is free, and your router has .1 : ifconfig re0 192.168.0.100/24 route add default 192.168.0.1 As for DNS, I'd suggest checking on another machine what servers you get from DHCP. For each one, add a line like nameserver 8.8.8.8 to /etc/resolv.conf . I think I'll try something like that: good to know how. On Slackware Linux I did, as best I remember: ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.254 netmask 255.255.255.0 route add default 192.168.1.1 dev eth0 route add default gw 192.168.1.254 dev eth0 So it looks like I only need two lines in FreeBSD or NetBSD. Subsequently, after running several live CDs and seeing how easy it was with DHCP, I switched to DHCP on one Slackware upgrade. I could copy from /etc/resolv.conf on other computer where re is good with Realtek 8111E Ethernet, or I could copy from NetBSD-current amd64 /etc/resolv.conf. If I fail with manual setup on FreeBSD, as is likely because of bug in re driver, I could try with NetBSD just to verify that my ifconfig and route commands are correct, or I could try with NetBSD first to see if I have the correct commands. When I was with BellSouth, then ATT Fastaccess DSL, DSL modem-router IP address was 192.168.1.254 .
