Realtek RTL8111C and re(4) driver
Hello, I'm about to get an MSI K9A2GM-FIH mobo with an on-board Realtek RTL8111C GigE adapter (I've picked that because the on-board Radeon HD 3200 RS780 chip seems supported by the radeon(4x) xorg driver). Unfortunately, I (wrongly) assumed that the RTL8111C would be supported by the rl(4) or re(4) driver, and noticed a bit too late kern/123123. So the question: has anyone with an RTL8111C actually tried the patches from this PR on RELENG_7? All I need for now is 100Mbit/s Ethernet with no frills (no offloading etc...), and I'd rather not sacrifice one PCI slot for an extra NIC if at all possible.

Re: Realtek RTL8111C and re(4) driver
Hi, If you can use a 6.3 version, realtek has release some drivers. Unfortunately, those drivers aren't working with the version 7 (I test it with FreeNAS under FreeBSD version 6.3 and 7). With version 7 the driver recognize the NIC but its unusable (can't assign an IP address). Here is a link to the latest driver: http://driverscollection.com/?H=RTL8111CBy=RealTekSS=FreeBSD%205 2008/8/24 cpghost [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello, I'm about to get an MSI K9A2GM-FIH mobo with an on-board Realtek RTL8111C GigE adapter (I've picked that because the on-board Radeon HD 3200 RS780 chip seems supported by the radeon(4x) xorg driver).

Unfortunately, I do need some features that are only available on RELENG_7 in this special case, so I guess I'll have to try out the patch on the PR and help debug the remaining issues somehow... Of course, there's always the option to use an additional supported adapter until re(4) has been updated. ;) Thanks again, -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
