RealTek 8101E ethernet card or similar doesn't work on FreeBSD-Collection of common programming errors
I’m trying to install FreeBSD on my netbook using an usb sitck but I’m running into a major problem, my ethernet card doesn’t work.
ifconfig -a
only returns me
lo0 .
but
dmesg | grep re0
gives me:
re0: ...
re0: Using 1 MSI messages
re0: Chip rev. 0x24000000
re0: MAC rev. 0x00000000
re0: Unknown H/W revision rev. 0x24000000
device_attach: re0 attach returned 6
The installer crashes when I try to setup the network on FreeBSD 8.1 amd64 or 8.2RC3 amd64 on usb stick. Same dmesg messages with 9.0 CURRENT but it doesn’t crash nor find re0.
The network works fine with NetBSD 5.1 amd64 or OpenBSD 4.8 i386 using re.
