Hi,
I'm assembling a few system with a ASUS P8 H161-MLE motherboard
which was supposed to have a 'Realtek® 8112L, 1 x Gigabit LAN
Controller(s)' onboard.
And to be honestly I never expected that version not to be supported.
Just booted 8.2-RELEASE on it, and the Installer crashed when I wanted
it to config the ehternet.
Rebooted, and re0 kicks in. But gives a HW revision not supported.
It claims HW revision 0x2c800000.
Is this supported in later 8.2-Stable??? Or in 9.x??
I'm willing to tinker with the code to recompile the re0 driver.
Your controller looks like RTL8168E VL and support for the
controller was added after 8.2-RELEASE.
Either update your source to stable/8 or patch your source tree
with back-ported re(4) driver for 8.2-RELEASE like the following.
1. Fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/re/8.2R/if_re.c and
copy it to /usr/src/sys/dev/re directory.
2. Fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/re/8.2R/if_rlreg.h and
copy it /usr/src/sys/pci directory.
And rebuild your kernel and your controller should be recognized in
next boot.
Hi YongHyeon PYUN,
Oke, that would mean I temporarily have to insert another ether card
to get things onboard. Or use the sneaker network. :)
I did check the 9.x stuff, but there the revision number was not in
/usr/src/sys/pci/if_rlreg.h ....
And you are right, they are in 8.2-STABLE.
Thanx for the files and pointers
