Hello,

I'm trying to install FreeBSD 4.1 and have run into problems trying to
get my network card recognised.

It's actually a D-Link DFE-530TX PCI Fast Ethernet Adaptor (Rev B)
which according to the hardware readme should be auto configured as
vr0

It was originally allocated irq9 which I thought was the problem but
having fiddled with the cmos setup it's now on irq12 but the problem
is the same.

This is what /var/log/messages says :-

/kernel: vr0: <VIA VT6102 Rhine II 10/100 Base TX> port 0xe400-0xe4ff
mem 0xd000000-0xd0000ff irq12 at device 16.0 on pci0

/kernel: vr0: Ethernet address: 00:00:00:00:00:00

/kernel: vr0: MII without any phy!

/kernel: device_probe_and_attach: vr0 attach returned 6


Then it moves onto other devices.

I'm currently using the generic kernel which includes support for vr0 and 
miibus.

Can anyone tell me what's wrong?  This network card works fine in
win98. It's mac address is 00-50-BA-EA-12-F1



Jim.
