Subject:   Netgear GA311 Gigabit eth adapt gets "re0 attach returned 6"
Message-ID:  <41037F09.8040704@bananabread.net>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I just picked up a couple of Netgear GA311 gigabit ethernet PCI adapters 
and am trying to get one working on my FBSD server. I'm running FBSD 
5.2. The GA311 uses the RealTek 8169S Chip which I understand to be 
supported by the "re" driver, so I compiled "re" into my kernel but it 
didn't work.

When I boot, a bunch of odd things happen. At power up, the 100MB/s 
light on the NIC immediately lights, even when cabled into either of a 
couple of different gigabit devices. Then during boot sequence, it 
correctly identifies the card chipset and matching driver type and tries 
to attach them but fails. It says:

re0: MII without any phy!
device_probe_attach: re0 attach returned 6

I've Googled aggressively but haven't found enough info to be any use 
and just haven't been able to get a clue of even what type of problem 
I'm encountering. Does it come down to a driver bug? Or can I fix this? 
dmesg appended below.

Thanks for any ideas.
Andrew
