I did some more research, it appears that the Abit AA8-DuraMax actually uses the RealTek RTL8100S chipset, not the 8169. The hardware compatibility list for 5.4 shows support for the 8110S chipset, but not my specific motherboard. Perhaps it is a new chip revision? I tried the patch by Dag-Erling Smørgrav from a similar thread ( http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2005-March/011022.html ) but no luck. -j Dmitry Mityugov wrote: > On 8/10/05, Julien Gabel <jpeg@thilelli.net> wrote: > ... >> Regrettably, i always encountered this problem.
