I recently did a motherboard swap (removed VIA Apollo 133A board and
added VIA Apollo 266 based one). The new board has its own LAN (Intel
82559), so I removed the PCI LAN card (VIA Rhine III based card).
I noticed this in the boot up:
vr0: <VIA VT6102 Rhine II 10/100BaseTX> port 0xc400-0xc4ff mem
0xf7101000-0xf71010ff irq 11 at device 18.0 on pci0
vr0: MII without any phy!
device_attach: vr0 attach returned 6
And pciconf shows:
# pciconf -lv
....
vr0@pci0:18:0: class=0x020000 card=0x01021106 chip=0x30651106 rev=0x62
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'VIA Technologies Inc'
device = 'VT6102 Rhine II PCI Fast Ethernet Controller'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
However it really is not there:
# ifconfig vr0
ifconfig: interface vr0 does not exist
After swapping the boards, I checked 'reset config data' in the BIOS and
everything else has worked great.
Is there any way to tell (devfs I guess) to forget this device?
Cheers
Mark
