I built a 6.2 FBSD box and wound up with a bad NIC out of 3 and what I thought might have been a bad pci slot. I replaced the NIC with a new one, and moved the card to another slot just to make sure I took care of the problem. However, now when I boot up, my rl0 interface is recognized, but isn't 'initialized'. What I mean by that is that I see entries in dmesg, but an ifconfig does not show that interface. I can't even plumb the thing as the OS says it doesn't exist. What really throws me is that the other two NICs and a video card that were also moved are recognized with no problems at all. Problems just seem to follow the rl0 interface. When looking through dmesg, I see the following: rl0: port 0x9000-0x90ff mem 0xde000000-0xde0000ff irq 5 at device 13.0 on pci0 rl0: reset never completed! rl0: unknown device ID: ffff device_attach: rl0 attach returned 6 I'm about at the point where I'll just re-install since I haven't gotten very far yet, but I'd like to learn something from this. My searches thus far haven't been very helpful as most of the results have been concerning problems with ACPI and disabling it. I'm new to FreeBSD, so even if someone can point me to a good guide on dealing with hardware in FreeBSD, it would be greatly appreciated. Of course if that was in addition to whatever direct suggestions you might have on how to resolve this problem, that would be wonderful too. ;-) Thanks much! Peter
