Got one in my machine. It has an Intel 10/100 on the motherboard,
and I wanted a second NIC to use the machine as a router.
I bought the Realtek at a Computer City that had been bought out by
CompUSA. They were dumping all the inventory that conflicted
between the two stores. The NIC was in a "Soho Basic" box and cost
$4.75. I bought serveral. :-)
You will need the following in your kernel config file:
device ed0
You will get something like:
+---------------
| Probing for devices on PCI bus 0:
| chip0 <Intel 82440FX (Natoma) PCI and memory controller> rev 2 on pci0:0:0
| ed1 <NE2000 PCI Ethernet (RealTek 8029)> rev 0 int a irq 9 on pci0:12:0
| ed1: address 00:00:e8:e1:d3:6f, type NE2000 (16 bit)
+---------------
Please note that the interrupt will be assigned by the PCI probe; it
might not be 9 like mine. And also note that even though you set
device number 0 in the kernel config, it will show up as device 1,
so be sure to edit your rc.conf correctly.
