Re: Realtek RTL8100S on FreeBSD 5.4: no carrier.
I just tried a clean install of 6.0 Beta 2, and still the same problem, but now with additional error messages: re0: link state changed to UP re0: link state changed to DOWN re0: link state changed to UP re0: link state changed to DOWN Over and over and over, whenever the LED on the network jack blinks. Further research indicated that ACPI could be a problem, so I disabled it by adding hint.acpi.0.disabled="1" to /boot/device.hints. This produced a different error: re0: 2 link states coalesced re0: link state changed to DOWN re0: 2 link states coalesced re0: link state changed to DOWN Over and over on every LED blink. -j j snod wrote: I did some more research, it appears that the Abit AA8-DuraMax actually uses the RealTek RTL8100S chipset, not the 8169.

Re: Realtek RTL8100S on FreeBSD 5.4: no carrier.
I did some more research, it appears that the Abit AA8-DuraMax actually uses the RealTek RTL8100S chipset, not the 8169. The hardware compatibility list for 5.4 shows support for the 8110S chipset, but not my specific motherboard. Perhaps it is a new chip revision?
