Hi! First post to this list. Was directed here from FreeBSD Forums.
I'm trying to get FreeBSD running on a FitPC2. The install of 8.2 Release
failed to even complete when it found the network. I downloaded 9.0-RC and
installed it, and was delighted when the new installer worked perfectly and
the install recognized the RealTek hardware and assigned re0 to it. I can
ping the system at it's assigned address (192.168.0.25 netmask 255.255.255.0,
default router and nameserver are both 192.168.0.1, which is working with my
other two FreeBSD machines). However, if I try to do anything at all to
another address (like, say, the default router at 192.168.0.1), I get "re0:
watchdog timeout". When I look at dmesg, it shows that every time I do
anything involving another address, the network goes down, the watchdog
message occurs, and then the network comes back up again.
I have heard that at least one other user has gotten the FitPC2 to work with
the re driver, so, at least in theory, it should work. Question is how?
Any advice deeply appreciated!
Hi,
have you tried recompilling kernel (GENERIC, with other types of NIC
supported) on your own?
As someone wrote you in forum, the driver may be wrong.
What's the NIC chipset?
