Hi,
I am a new list member with few experience and I have a problem with
the NIC Realtek 8111e on FreeBSD/PCBSD 9.
My company bought new motherboards ASUS model "P8H61-M LX", these have
onboard Realtek 8111e NICs. My computer does not adquire DHCP IP
address when I install FreeBSD/PCBSD 9, but when I install Windows I
can use the network perfectly.
I tray configuring manually the network parameters, and when I execute
the command "/etc/netstart restart" I receive an interesting message
"no carrier". So I think the problem is on the driver because I can
use the network running Windows.
Realtek has released a driver on 21/12/2011 for FreeBSD 7.x and 8.X an
I want to kow if I can tray this driver or if there some update on
FreeBSD that can help me to solve this problem. Below I attach the
results of my tests trying to solve the problem.
Best regards,
joans4nz
