we are trying to install FreeBSD on a computer that uses the NIC mentioned above. The NIC is running under linux without problems, which we've tested for several days transferring several GB of data. The NIC is neither detected by the FreeBSD installer when attempting to setup the network, nor after the system installation when booting from HD. We've tested FreeBSD 8.x, 9.x and 10.x; same issues with this NIC. We cannot use a different NIC (this one is onboard. The micro ATX mainboard has no room left for any other device) pciconf -l -v: none2@pci0:3:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x81681849 chip=0x816810ec rev=0x0c hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.' device = 'RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller' class = network subclass = ethernet dmesg: re0: <RealTek 8168/8111 B/C/CP/D/DP/E/F PCIe Gigabit Ethernet> port 0xd000-0xd0ff mem 0xf3204000-0xf3204fff,0xf3200000-0xf3203fff irq 19 at device 0.0 on pci3 re0: Using 1 MSI-X message re0: Chip rev. 0x4c000000 re0: MAC rev. 0x00000000 re0: Unknown H/W revision: 0x4c000000 device_attach: re0 attach returned 6 ifconfig -a: lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 16384 options=600003<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV6> inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> Even though "dmesg" shows the device "re0", it remains unknown to "ifconfig". "if_re" is already in the generic kernel, so it can't be loaded via "kldload" as a module, right? >How-To-Repeat: 1.) Install any FreeBSD Version: 8.4, 9.1, 9.2, 10.0-BETA2 with this NIC 2.) "ifconfig -a" shows only the loopback device. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: _______________________________________________ freebsd-amd64@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-amd64 To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-amd64-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
