Hi all, I would like to install FreeBSD 6.2 on a i386 system that includes a Realtek RTL8169 network card, but when booting from the install CD or from the installed system, there seems to be a problem with the driver: > dmesg ... pci0: <network, ethernet> at device 13.0 (no driver attached) ... > pciconf -l -v ... none0@pci0:13:0: class=3D0x020000 card=3D0x816910ec chip=3D0x816910ec rev= =3D0x10 hdr=3D0x00 vendor =3D 'Realtek Semiconductor' device =3D 'RTL8169 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter' class =3D 'Network' subclass =3D ethernet ... > kldload if_re kldload: can't load if_re: File exists I've been running a FreeBSD server in production for over a year now and this is the first time ever I even have to think about hardware. The card itself is a cheap no-name card. What am I doing wrong ?
