I hav a mobo with the same NIC, I use it on a FreeNAS box that's runing a version based on FreeBSD 6.3. In order to make the NIC work i had to compile the drivers from realtek with an other FreeBSD box and load the module on startup. But data transfer from / to my FreeNAS box are slow. Anyone had the same problem with this NIC / Realtek drivers? Did someone used the drivers from FreeBSD 7.1 with (or without) FreeNAS ? Does the transfer speed are correct ? 2008/10/1 cpghost <cpghost@cordula.ws> > On Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 10:26:14PM -0600, Andrew Falanga wrote: > > On Mon, Sep 22, 2008 at 8:58 PM, Sebastian <list@mindling.com> wrote: > > > Andrew Falanga wrote: > > >> > > >> On Saturday 20 September 2008 12:14:57 Sebastian wrote: > > >> > > >>> > > >>> Da Rock wrote: > > >>> > > >>>> > > >>>> I have used the compiled driver on 6.3 with success- but then I've > used > > >>>> the driver linked in a post to drivers list. 7.0 is a no go. > > >>>> > > >>> > > >>> I tried to compile the current OEM Realtek driver under (v176) on > fbsd > > >>> 6.3, but couldn't get it to build.
