Dear List Members
I am having an issue with a RealTek card for networking. The card in =20
question is recognised by FB alright, as you can see in the pciconf =20
output
re0@pci0:2:8:0: class=3D0x020000 card=3D0x311a1385 chip=3D0x816910ec =20
rev=3D0x10 hdr=3D0x00
vendor =3D 'Realtek Semiconductor'
device =3D 'RTL8110SB Single-Chip Gigabit LOM Ethernet Controller'
class =3D network
subclass =3D ethernet
But when I do an ifconfig, the result says Media None and No Carrier
re0: flags=3D8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=3D9b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM>
ether 00:1e:2a:3b:2e:62
inet x.x.x.x netmask 0xffffffe0 broadcast x.x.x.x
media: Ethernet none
status: no carrier
I know for a fact that the cable and the connection is alright -- I =20
tried with other devices (like Laptops and other desktops), and when I =20
plug the cable into the RTL card, the light on the switch shows =20
connection established.
But ifconfig report shows "no carrier" ? ? ?
Any and all help is highly appreciated. I have already CVSupped twice =20
within this week and built world and kernels from scratch as well.
