Same as your problem.

Try switch to 7.*
At this point, switching to 7.* isn't really an option and its loads 
easier to just switch to a better NIC.


Out of curiosity, what does the 7.* driver do that the 6.* doesn't and 
why hasn't it been backported?

Now I see why -- the code looks way overhauled recently (like hours ago) 
and the RELENG_6 version doesn't have any of these fixes.


Anyone know if or when they will be MFC'd?

Trendnet TEG-PCITXR hw rev 3.0 re driver

2008-01-14 Thread Shawn Barnhart
Went looking for a cheap GigE PCI card to use with a 6.2 
(6.3-PRERELEASE) stable system, and brought this home due to Microcenter 
not stocking Intel cards and me not wanting to wait for Newegg to ship 
one to me.


I have the re driver built into the kernel, but this particular card is 
not recognized even though its supposed to be based on the Realtek 8169 
chipset.  Realtek has a linux driver download (of unknown quality) and 
that source has a mod time of 2/06, so I'm guessing it's not a 
reinvention of the wheel or a super-significant change.


Anyone track these things close enough to know if there's something 
significant changed in this chipset family?

Card works after switching slots on the motherboard, but I got re0: 
watchdog timer errors on reboot and no traffic on the card.  I 
unplugged and replugged the NIC cable at the switch end and I get 
traffic now, but I have a proper Intel card on order from Newegg.  I 
don't trust this one.
