Re: Realtek 8111C?
I hav a mobo with the same NIC, I use it on a FreeNAS box that's runing a version based on FreeBSD 6.3. In order to make the NIC work i had to compile the drivers from realtek with an other FreeBSD box and load the module on startup. But data transfer from / to my FreeNAS box are slow. Anyone had the same problem with this NIC / Realtek drivers? Did someone used the drivers from FreeBSD 7.1 with (or without) FreeNAS ?

There is already a driver available for 6.3, but you need to compile it
yourself. Check the drivers list for details.

That would indeed not be expected to work. Even a 7.1 module on a 7.0 system would be hit-or-miss; across a major revision it's a wonder it didn't panic.

What vendor ID and product ID, exactly?
("pciconf -lv" will tell.)
Thanks for all the responses. I've made a little progress as a result.
The computer is an MSI Wind barebone unit with "MS-7418" on the mb.
Link:
The NIC is an RTL8111C, and here's the output of `pciconf -lv` on FreeBSD 6.3:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:1:0:0: class=0x02 card=0x41801462 chip=0x816810ec
rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
class = network
subclass = ethernet
After reading the responses here, I tried the 7.1-beta live CD. It detects the
NIC, and the output of the above is changed slightly (new name):
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:1:0:0: class=0x02 card=0x41801462 chip=0x816810ec
rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
class = network
subclass = ethernet
I was able to bring up the interface using the live CD, and at first glance it
seems to be working (pings ok), but I didn't stress-test it.
So if all else fails, I will continue using 7.1. But first, since I'm trying to
use FreeNAS, which is FreeBSD 6.3, I thought I'd try copying the driver from
7.1.
The module (if_re.ko) appears to load successfully at boot time, however the NIC
is still not shown in dmesg and unavailable as re0. I admit I don't know if this
should even work (7.1-compiled module on 6.3 kernel). I may be missing
something.
This machine will run off a CF card, hence the desire to use flash-friendly
FreeNAS. I do have some experience with NanoBSD, so if I can't get FreeNAS to
work I'll pursue that with 7.1.
Thanks for any further insights you might have!
Sebastian

What vendor ID and product ID, exactly?
("pciconf -lv" will tell.)
I'm asking because the re(4) driver seem to contain
support for several different chips that are all
identified as "8111C", but work slightly differently.
So it is important to know whether your version of
that NIC is already covered, or whether it has a
product ID that the driver doesn't know about yet.
As far as I can tell from the repository history,
the driver is well maintained.
Best regards
Oliver

Realtek 8111C?
Hi, I'd like to confirm my understanding of current status on this NIC. It seems, based on some searching, the current Realtek driver in FreeBSD doesn't support the 8111C, and that although the vendor-supplied driver _may_ work for older 5.x and 6.0 releases (if one can get it compiled, I couldn't), it doesn't work in 6.3 or 7. So the RTL8111C is effectively not supported. True? I picked up a nice little Atom board to use as a low-power NAS, and unfortunately just assumed the onboard Realtek NIC was supported. Unfortunately I don't have a PCI slot on this mobo to use a different NIC. Is anyone working on this driver? :) Thanks ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: FreeBSD7 and realtek 8111C
Hi, I have a ASRock Wolfdale1333-GLAN/M2, and I use it in order to run FreeNAS. FreeNAS is based on FreeBSD in order to simply provide a NAS solution. With the version of FreeNAS based on FreeBSD 6.3 the NIC wasn't recognize, I had to download those drivers and to compile them in order to make my NIC working on FreeNAS. When I tried the version based on FreeBSD 7 the system doesn't recognize my NIC. I load the module that i made for my NIC, the system recognize my NIC but when i tried to assign to it an ip address its stops to work. Jason, what is the name of the device that you use? Maybe this card isn't support with the realtek driver on FreeBSD 7 but its use another one. Mine is rl. 2008/9/3 Jason Lenthe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Andrey Slusar wrote: > > Hello! > > I have the motherboard with realtek 8111C LAN Card. > > On FreeBSD6.3 it's card is work fine with driver from realtek wesite - > > rtl_bsd_drv_v175.tgz archive. > > Build this driver on 7.0-STABLE is not work.
