I need to replace a failing motherboard. I'm aiming to keep the existing Athlon CPU so I'm tied down to to a socket AM2(+) board and the majority of those available seem to have nForce 630a chipsets and RTL8211CL or 8201EL NIC's which aren't explicitly mentioned in the release notes <http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.1R/hardware.html#ETHERNET>. I see that the strings RTL8211C(L) and RTL8201L (but not EL) appear in /usr/src/sys/dev/rgephy.c and rlphy.c but the man page for the rl driver only mentions RealTek 8129/8139 and I'm not sure which driver is built from rgephy.c. Am I going to have problems if I get a motherboard with one of these NIC's? -- Mike Clarke _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org" I have an am2+ board in a machine with a realtek card and it is using the re driver, might be worth having a look there.
