I tried to boot : FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE from the install CD on an Acer Aspire 1603LC and : didn't see a rl0 device either. A verbose boot shows that the Realtek : 8139 which should be at rl0@pci0:7:0 is not detected when scanning the : PCI bus. Booting with ACPI disabled doesn't make a difference; rl0 is : still missing. : : The full dmesg, pciconf -l and lspci -n output from Knoppix for : comparison is here: http://home.arcor.de/rspeyerer/freebsd/ : : Do you have any tip (perhaps some special hw.pci... setting in : /boot/loader.conf) I could try to make the Realtek 8139 work? I don't suppose there's a bios option to turn off the network is there? If the deivce isn't there at all in the pci scan, the problem isn't with the rl driver. It is either that the chip is off and not responding, or there's some subtle bug in the pci scanning code. Warner
