Problems with the rl driver...

[Henrik W Lund]

I'm trying to set up FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE for a friend of mine, and he has 
the Realtek RTL8139 NIC (for which the rl driver is the correct one as far 
as I can tell). However, when booting up, the following appears:

rl0: couldn't map ports/memory
device_probe_attach returned 6
(migth be paraphrased)

Now, I have had a similar problem earlier with another PC, and what was done 
then was just to recompile the GENERIC kernel (4.6-RELEASE, mind you), and 
it worked fine, even though the kernel I was already running was the one 
that was installed (which I assumed was GENERIC also). I tried this approach 
with my friends system too, but to no avail.

Are there any flags that may be sent to the rl driver? I've checked LINT, 
and there doesn't appear to be any.

Thanks!

You need miibus support in the kernel, but that should be there anyway
in the GENERIC file. Other than that I have had no problems.

Yup, miibus support has been there all along.
