In additiin to the information you have already provided, you should also
provide relevant output from pciconf, like so:
root@kg-core1# pciconf -lv | grep -A 4 re0
re0@pci0:2:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x84321043 chip=0x816810ec rev=0x06 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Realtek Semiconductor'
device = 'Gigabit Ethernet NIC(NDIS 6.0) (RTL8168/8111/8111c)'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
(substitute the name of your interface for "re0")
and also ifconfig output like this:
root@kg-core1# ifconfig re0
re0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=8209b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,WOL_MAGIC,LINKSTATE>
ether 50:46:5d:8b:a2:ea
inet 10.1.150.50 netmask 0xffff0000 broadcast 10.1.255.255
media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex>)
status: active
(again, substitute the name of your interface for "re0")
As far as fault-finding "tricks" go, here is one that have helped me on several
occasions in the past:
before doing anything with a network interface (in other words, before starting
DHCP), try doing a 'ifconfig <interface> up'
for example ifconfig re0 up
After that, use the interface normally.
If it works, you have found a bug related to the driver and the specific
hardware revsion of you card. Create a PR for it.
