It seems, based on some searching, the current Realtek driver in FreeBSD doesn't support the 8111C, and that although the vendor-supplied driver _may_ work for older 5.x and 6.0 releases (if one can get it compiled, I couldn't), it doesn't work in 6.3 or 7. So the RTL8111C is effectively not supported. True? I picked up a nice little Atom board to use as a low-power NAS, and unfortunately just assumed the onboard Realtek NIC was supported. Unfortunately I don't have a PCI slot on this mobo to use a different NIC. Is anyone working on this driver? :) Thanks
