Hi all,
I would like to install FreeBSD 6.2 on a i386 system that includes a
Realtek RTL8169 network card, but when booting from the install CD or
from the installed system, there seems to be a problem with the driver:
dmesg
...
pci0: network, ethernet at device 13.0 (no driver attached)
...
pciconf -l -v
...
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:13:0: class=0x02 card=0x816910ec chip=0x816910ec rev=0x10
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Realtek Semiconductor'
device = 'RTL8169 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter'
class= 'Network'
subclass = ethernet
...
kldload if_re
kldload: can't load if_re: File exists
I've been running a FreeBSD server in production for over a year now and
this is the first time ever I even have to think about hardware. The
card itself is a cheap no-name card.
What am I doing wrong ?
Thank you very much,
CU Stefan
