I'm back home and I still have the issue with my onboard RTL8168 NIC I've described here: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=0+0+archive/2008/freebsd- hardware/20080817.freebsd-hardware As I wrote you in one of my old mails I've tested 7.0-RELEASE and 7.0-STABLE-200807 and my NIC isn't recognised by both kernel versions. So I also would like to try more current 7.0-STABLE-200808 but there's still no new snapshot for the amd64 architecture on your ftp server: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/200808/ Are there no relevant changes done to amd64? BTW: Bernt wrote in his mail (see below) that he has a similar motherboard also with a RTL8168/8111 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC with revision 1 (my NIC is revision 2 - see below) and his one is recognized by 7.0-RELEASE. In 7.0-STABLE it also doesn't work with his NIC: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hardware/2008-September/005367.html (How) Can I help you to solve this issue?
