Hello there,
Recently I obtained a nforce2 motherboard and am trying to get
the onboard sound/nic working. (havn't tried the sound yet) The manual
claims that the network card is a RTL8201BL nic, and the kernel already
has drivers for RTL8201L cards, so assume their similar enough and the
rl driver would work for both of them. I figure that all that
would have to be done is to add the device id's to the kernel
source, and it "should" work. Included below is my systems pciconf so
you can see the id's for the nic:

(the 3com card there is the nic i'm using for the time being, until i
can get the onboard one to work. The other ethernet card is the built in
nvidia one)
A friend of mine and I put together this patch to add this card to the
rl driver in the kernel (applied from the /usr/src/sys/pci/ directory):

With this patch in place, and the kernel re-compiled. The system now
recognizes the card as using the rl driver, however it fails to load
with the message:
rl0: <nVidia nForce 10/100BaseTX> port 0xc400-0xc407 mem 0xe5083000-0xe5083fff irq 5
at device 4.0 on pci0
rl0: couldn't map ports/memory
device_probe_and_attach: rl0 attach returned 6
I'm not much of a kernel hacker or even a coder, so i'm not quite sure
what this means, or where to go from here. Any insignt on this would be
greatly appreciated, feel free to ask for additional information.
Thanks,
Jeff Utter
