This appears to be an RTL8169S based card. When I build a kernel with the re device (and miibus) enabled, the card is not detected. I also tried building a GENERIC kernel to sanity check my config -- the card is not detected with the GENERIC kernel either. I verified that the if_re.c file is being compiled / included in the kernel. The LINT config for 5.3 _does_not_ include "device re" which I find strange. The man page for re says it was introduced in 5.2 so I think it should be here? I tried disabling ACPI support in the loader menu but this did not result in the detection of the card. I tried booting a 6.1 kernel on the machine and it _does_ detect the device. Is this likely due to driver code differences or something else in the 6.x kernels? I'd rather not upgrade this box to 6.x yet but I could certainly bring it up to 5.5. Thx, Scott
