The card in =20 question is recognised by FB alright, as you can see in the pciconf =20 output re0@pci0:2:8:0: class=3D0x020000 card=3D0x311a1385 chip=3D0x816910ec =20 rev=3D0x10 hdr=3D0x00 vendor =3D 'Realtek Semiconductor' device =3D 'RTL8110SB Single-Chip Gigabit LOM Ethernet Controller' class =3D network subclass =3D ethernet But when I do an ifconfig, the result says Media None and No Carrier re0: flags=3D8843 metric 0 mtu 1500 options=3D9b ether 00:1e:2a:3b:2e:62 inet x.x.x.x netmask 0xffffffe0 broadcast x.x.x.x media: Ethernet none status: no carrier I know for a fact that the cable and the connection is alright -- I =20 tried with other devices (like Laptops and other desktops), and when I =20 plug the cable into the RTL card, the light on the switch shows =20 connection established. But ifconfig report shows "no carrier" ? ? ? Any and all help is highly appreciated. I have already CVSupped twice =20 within this week and built world and kernels from scratch as well. uname -a FreeBSD **** 7.0-RELEASE-p1 FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p1 #3: Thu Jun 12 =20 15:24:40 BST 2008 kldstat Id Refs Address Size Name 1 18 0xc0400000 7bdce8 kernel 2 2 0xc0bbe000 28588 linux.ko 3 1 0xc0be7000 7558c4 nvidia.ko 4 1 0xc133d000 7a88 if_re.ko 5 1 0xc1345000 6921c acpi.ko 6 1 0xc35c5000 4000 nullfs.ko 7 1 0xc4623000 1e000 smbfs.ko 8 2 0xc4641000 3000 libiconv.ko 9 2 0xc4644000 3000 libmchain.ko All practical suggestions and pointers are highly appreciated.
