I have 2 cheap 100mbit nics (rj45 only). Both use the ReaTek 8139 chipset (from the best that I can tell). Both are PCI.
I've attempted to use both cards in several PCI slots, under 2.2.8 and 3.0 boot floppies, and a 3.0-stable (updated 2 days ago). None of these releases found either card in any situation. I believe the card should be detected as Ed0 (possibly ed1). I have used 3com pci cards in both machines under freebsd sucessfully and the ne2000 cards function under windows and os/2. What can I do? If someone wants to see, I'm willing to give root to a person who wishes to help fix this problem (or make appropriate additions to the driver). Have any changes been applied to 4.0-current which may solve my situation? Tried to get help in #freebsd in efnet, but no-one had suggestions that helped me...
