Greetings! > I have a 10/100 fast ethernet carbus card that uses the realtek 8139 > chipset that I'd like to use with FreeBSD.

My card started working when i disabled ACPI. I don't have a sufficiently pointy hat to tell you _why_ this happened... It shouldn't be like that, separate parts of the system, mumble grumble, but in the spirit of empirical observation: It Worked For Me. YMMV, disclaimer, small print, etc. > I think rl is the one I need. I think you're right. Good luck, -Jan Christian
