Hi, If you can use a 6.3 version, realtek has release some drivers. Unfortunately, those drivers aren't working with the version 7 (I test it with FreeNAS under FreeBSD version 6.3 and 7). With version 7 the driver recognize the NIC but its unusable (can't assign an IP address). Here is a link to the latest driver: http://driverscollection.com/?H=RTL8111C&By=RealTek&SS=FreeBSD%205 2008/8/24 cpghost <cpghost@cordula.ws> Hello, I'm about to get an MSI K9A2GM-FIH mobo with an on-board Realtek RTL8111C GigE adapter (I've picked that because the on-board Radeon HD 3200 RS780 chip seems supported by the radeon(4x) xorg driver). Unfortunately, I (wrongly) assumed that the RTL8111C would be supported by the rl(4) or re(4) driver, and noticed a bit too late kern/123123. So the question: has anyone with an RTL8111C actually tried the patches from this PR on RELENG_7? All I need for now is 100Mbit/s Ethernet with no frills (no offloading etc...), and I'd rather not sacrifice one PCI slot for an extra NIC if at all possible. Thanks, -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org "
