The RTL8139C+ (which is not the same as the RTL8139C or RTL8139D) is a 10/100M chip which is also supported by the re(4) driver. If FreeBSD cannot detect your NIC then you will have to send more information to help people figure out what exact hardware you have and what would be needed to make it work. The output of 'pciconf -lv' should be a good start. (Include the full output, not just the lines you think are important.) --=20 <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se
