I have a: re0@pci0:11:0: class=0x020000 card=0x311a1385 chip=0x816910ec rev=0x10 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Realtek Semiconductor' device = 'RTL8169 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter' class = network subclass = ethernet Which is a GA511 too, and it also doesn't work, but I get this message as long as the interface is up or trying to get up, with 2-3 seconds interval: re0: link state changed to DOWN re0: 2 link states coalesced The NIC works, as it was being used on a Linux box and a couple of times with a winxp box, without any issues. ifconfig also reports it as "no carrier", and the leds on my switch for it doesn't light up. sometimes it just work, often not, right after the interface configuration step during boot. I found a PR somewhat related to this issue, but can't find it now. My solution was to use my onboard NIC (a via rhine ii), instead. -- Ricardo Nabinger Sanchez Powered by FreeBSD "Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse."
