Trying to install and run FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT
(FreeBSD-11.0-CURRENT-amd64-20140903-r270990-memstick.img) on a new Lenovo =
E540 notebook
fails in activating the NIC (Realtek RTL8111/8168B, driver re[0]). The NIC =
shows up as
active and with carrier when issuing "ifconfig re0".
=46rom a desktop machine, I tried to ping the system in question and I get a =
result with
missing packets:
ping: sendto: Host is down

DHCP configuration fails, since no DHCP offer is discovered.
I swapped the switches, the cabling and I had always the same results. I us=
ed another
Laptop, Dell Latitude E6510 with the same configuration (/etc/rc.conf) and =
that system
gets DHCP offer and is online.
Since the notebook is brandnew, the last thing I'll "suspect" is a defectiv=
e NIC, so I'll
ask whether this phenomenon is known - or, if not, the results definititely=
would
indicate a broken NIC.=20
Another point is the WiFI adaptor. This notebook is supposed to have a WiFi=
NIC, but it
doesn't get revealed by FreeBSD (I tried iwn/iwi without success).=20
pciconf output below, sorry for the messy shape, it is a copy-and-paste fro=
m that immature
vt() terminal.
Has anyone successfully installed that type of Notebook with FreeBSD CURREN=
T using NIC
and Wifi?
Please CC me.
Regards
