(follow-up to question by MaXX to freebsd-net on Sun May 6 11:53:56) Greetings, I have also just bought a couple of D-Link DGE-528T Gigabit Ethernet cards for use with FreeBSD, and I also found that FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE did not detect them anymore. A simple fix is needed to /usr/src/sys/dev/re/if_re.c to add support for the rev.B1 version of the hardware. I have reported the problem using send-pr. It is tracked as "i386/112774". See http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=112774 for more info. You need to patch the if_re.c file, rebuild a kernel, and then it will just work. Good luck, Denis F. PS. For info, here is the required fix: --- /usr/src/sys/dev/re/if_re.c Wed Jan 24 03:57:50 2007 +++ /usr/src/sys/dev/re/if_re.c.new Sat May 19 04:08:32 2007 @@ -168,6 +168,8 @@ static struct rl_type re_devs[] = { { DLINK_VENDORID, DLINK_DEVICEID_528T, RL_HWREV_8169S, "D-Link DGE-528(T) Gigabit Ethernet Adapter" }, + { DLINK_VENDORID, DLINK_DEVICEID_528T, RL_HWREV_8169_8110SB, + "D-Link DGE-528(T) Rev.B1 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter" }, { RT_VENDORID, RT_DEVICEID_8139, RL_HWREV_8139CPLUS, "RealTek 8139C+ 10/100BaseTX" }, { RT_VENDORID, RT_DEVICEID_8101E, RL_HWREV_8101E,
