Subject:   Realtek 3-port NIC driver not loading
Message-ID:  <1167932629.17994.12.camel@localhost>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I have two Realtek cards in my box - one single port 8619, and one
3-port 8619 (Jetway AD3RTLANG).  FreeBSD loads the driver for the single
port, but not the other three.  It does list them all in pciconf with
the same chipset, output below:

re0@pci0:8:0:   class=0x020000 card=0x816910ec chip=0x816910ec rev=0x10
hdr=0x00
    class    = network
    subclass = ethernet
none0@pci0:9:0: class=0x020000 card=0x10ec16f3 chip=0x816910ec rev=0x10
hdr=0x00
    class    = network
    subclass = ethernet
none2@pci0:11:0:        class=0x020000 card=0x10ec16f3 chip=0x816910ec
rev=0x10 hdr=0x00
    class    = network
    subclass = ethernet
none3@pci0:12:0:        class=0x020000 card=0x10ec16f3 chip=0x816910ec
rev=0x10 hdr=0x00
    class    = network
    subclass = ethernet

The strange thing is - when I loaded FreeNAS 0.671 (6.1 based), it works
perfectly.  When I use any other 6.1 or 6.2 installation, it displays
the following messages on boot for the 3-port card:

pci0: <network, ethernet> at device 9.0 (no driver attached)
pci0: <network, ethernet> at device 11.0 (no driver attached)
pci0: <network, ethernet> at device 12.0 (no driver attached)

I'm somewhat new to BSD.  Can someone point me in the right direction?
