Good morning, everyone! A quick update on the Realtek card.
Reading the re man page, "The 8169S and 8110S are single-chip devices containing both a 10/100/1000 MAC and 10/100/1000 copper PHY, which is supported by rgephy(4)". Could it be that the kernel is assigning the "re" driver to the device instead of "rgephy"? dmesg shows "RTL8169SBL". PS: The error "reset never completed!" is immediately triggered whenever I do ifconfig re0 up. Thanks!
