Realtek 8139/8201L Ethernet PHY driver
Am using an ASUS MB which contains the subject driver, more specifically rlphy. Haven't found any support for this driver in FBSD-7.3. Has anyone else solved this issue? I use another NICard that is supported, but only a 10/100 vs the phy is 10/100/1000. Google is not a help, other than it does refer to the rlphy.c file which is on my FBSD system. %locate rlphy /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYKERNEL/modules/usr/src/sys/modules/mii/rlphy.o /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYKERNEL/rlphy.o /usr/src/sys/dev/mii/rlphy.c It isn't built or does it load. It's a bit over my head how to build and load this if possible. Any suggestions or info?? Jack (^_^) Happy trails, Jack L.

RealTek 8139 not identified in FreeBSD
Hello. I have an Acer Aspire 1600 laptop with a RealTek 8139 integrated network card. The card is not identified at all in neither FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE nor in FreeBSD 5-STABLE, not even in DragonFlyBSD (which is a fork of FreeBSD 5 IIRC). pciconf -lv does not report back any information on the card at all. Linux and Windows however can identify the card as RealTek 8139 chip type 'RTL-8100B/8139D' at 0x1800-0x18ff, Memory: EC005000-EC0050FF, IRQ 19. Since FreeBSD is a lot better for my computing needs, is there a way I can get the above card to work correctly (or even work at all) in FreeBSD?

Have you compiled miibus support into the kernel? As a sidenote though, if you haven't custom built a kernel it should work straight out of the box. Also if you build ACPI or APM support into your kernel, the IRQ for your ACPI or APM functionality may be the same as the IRQ for your Realtek card; thus if you disable your ACPI and APM support and your Realtek card just starts to work for you, the problem is IRQ based ;). -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RealTek 8139 config problems
I've searched the mailing archives for this problem (yeah, yeah, I know these cards stink, but I'm going for gold anyway). I have 2 of these at rl0 and rl1. The rl0 correctly auto dectects to 100baseTX full-duplex, however, the one at rl1 dectects to 10baseT/UPT. Thus, I use ifconfig to set rl1 to 100baseTX full-duplex and all is well. However!!! if I then set the inet address to say 192.168.1.1 (or whatever), the card no longer transmits data (the LED light on the back of the card even goes out). Also, the LED light on the HUB corresponding to this card starts blinking rapidly. Any help? Thank you very much, Chris.

Re: RealTek 8139 config problems
I've had this exact problem, turned out to be a bad card. It COULD be a bad PCI slot, but more often then not, it's a bad card. FYI: I've also seen those cards set their MAC address to all Fs when they go bad as well...really bazarr...that's happened to me several times (I've got about 800 PCs using them) Hope this helps, --Brian On Sat, 21 Aug 2004 01:10:32 -0600 (MDT), Chris Staskewicz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've searched the mailing archives for this problem (yeah, yeah, I know these cards stink, but I'm going for gold anyway).

RealTek 8139 PC Card
I'm trying to get a realtek 8139 pcmcia network card to work with FreeBSD, it was working nicely with linux using the standard 8139 driver so I'm sure the card is good. I have the rl driver compiled staticly into the kernel, but I'm not sure if this works with pc cards as the device isn't present when the system boots, do I need to remove it and just use the module? I looked in the /etc/defaults/pccard.conf file and found no references to any realtek drivers, do I need to add one? The following line from pciconf I believe identifies the realtek card, but I'm not sure: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:0:0: class=0x03 card=0xb18b0e11 chip=0x4c4d1002 rev=0x64 hdr=0x00 Also, is there any program with nicer output like lspci or cardctl ident on linux? I would think there should be some program that can translate those ugly device/vendor ids into nice pretty names. -- I sense much NT in you. NT leads to Bluescreen. Bluescreen leads to downtime.

The Machine runs fine, most of the time, but every now and again my network card stops working for no reason. Rebooting the box fixes this for a while, but the it starts again. I've tried replacing the card, but that didn't seem to solve the problem. Any ideas? Chris --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Hello, I have FreeBSD 4.8 Release. At one time I pulled out the network cable and I got this message: rl0: reset never completed The system was doing something, not much, like pinging, I don't recall exactly. After that, at the first boot, in dmesg I found this: rl0: chip is is in D3 power mode -- setting to D0 Just that dmesg, no others, and with 'is' twice :). Now every ping I do, results in: sendto: host is down and it isn't. On the same sistem resides a windows which is not bothered by anything. What is wrong? What did I do? How can I undo it? Point me to the path of my salvation, please :) Thank you. - Want to chat instantly with your online friends?

I can't say for sure about FreeBSD being a newbie myself, but Realtek NICs have proven flakey at best on Linux systems and generally to be avoided. We generally stick to Intel and 3COM NICs (there's a local PC recycler here that usually has 3c905bs available for about $20 each and 3COM honors their lifetime warranty if there are problems with them).
