Re: FreeBSD 6.1 rl interface
Hi Antony, Thanks for that valuable information: Jul 9 09:14:08 grandpa kernel: module_register: module pci/rl already exists! Jul 9 09:14:08 grandpa kernel: Module pci/rl failed to register: 17 This means the driver is already in the kernel, so you do not need to load it manually by placing the if_rl_load=YES line in your loader.conf. OK, I've removed all references to if_rl and if_re from the loader.conf file, so this error is not occuring any more.

It may simply be a case of having to add the appropriate PCI device IDs to the driver. Could you provide the output of pciconf -lv? I'm not sure how to add the PCI device ID to the driver. The output from the `pciconf -lv` command is rather long, but here it is. The last 8 or so lines seem to be the ones of importance for this problem. I'm a bit puzzled by the line that says: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:2:0: class=0x02 card=0x chip=0x81391904 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 The card=0x is a worry.

FreeBSD 6.1 rl interface
Dear People, I'm hoping to upgrade from FreeBSD 4.6.1 on a Pentium II to FreeBSD 6.1 on a P5 3.2GHz. Of course, I'm doing a fresh install on the new system. There's been some annoyances - Openoffice.org is still at 1.1.5 rather than 2.0 on the release, and KDE desn't seem to want to run screen savers, sound does not work, etc, etc. I am working through these. But the killer is that I want to run 2 ethernet interfaces. The on-board one is fxp0 (Intel) and comes up fine. The other is a PCI card with the RealTek 8139D chipset, so I'm expecting a rl0 interface. I've put if_rl_load=YES into the /boot/loader.conf filem but the system does not seem to like it, giving me the message failed to register: 17 at module load time, and then no driver attached at bring-up-interface time. /var/log/messages extract is as follows: - Jul 9 09:14:08 grandpa kernel: FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE #0: Sun May 7 04:42:56 UTC 2006 Jul 9 09:14:08 grandpa kernel: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SMP Jul 9 09:14:08 grandpa kernel: module_register: module pci/rl already exists!

The system is very much a straight out of the box, FreeBSD 6.1 release, as can be seen from the above extract, and the chip has RTL8139D printed on it (maybe rl is wrong, but re is the only other 8139 option, and it doesn't work either). Any clues would be most welcome. Thank you all very much.
