Unfortunately, I (wrongly) assumed that the RTL8111C would be supported by the rl(4) or re(4) driver, and noticed a bit too late kern/123123. So the question: has anyone with an RTL8111C actually tried the patches from this PR on RELENG_7? All I need for now is 100Mbit/s Ethernet with no frills (no offloading etc...), and I'd rather not sacrifice one PCI slot for an extra NIC if at all possible. Thanks, -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
