Greetings, I cvsup'd and rebuilt a FreeBSD 4.8 system last Friday after receiving the realpath security advisory. The machine is remote and the NIC uses the rl driver. After booting the machine I had no network connectivity. The person at the remote site says the boot was normal and he could see that the NIC was properly configured but he could not ping it and I could not login. We booted off kernel.old and everything came up fine. I browsed the stable list here and noticed someone else had the same problem with the rl driver, "rl(4) is broken in stable". Could not see any problems at all with the boot just the nic appears not to be working. Its a RealTek 8139 10/100BaseTX. I re-built the kernel again yesterday after again cvsuping the source on Monday August 18th. Thanks John Rushford jjr@alisa.org
