X-BeenThere: freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Technical Discussions relating to FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2005 15:42:47 -0000 I did some more research, it appears that the Abit AA8-DuraMax actually uses the RealTek RTL8100S chipset, not the 8169. The hardware compatibility list for 5.4 shows support for the 8110S chipset, but not my specific motherboard. Perhaps it is a new chip revision? I tried the patch by Dag-Erling Smørgrav from a similar thread ( http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2005-March/011022.html ) but no luck. -j Julien Gabel wrote: >>> Regrettably, i always encountered this problem.
