Synopsis: FreeBSD doesn't recognise RTL8101E Responsible-Changed-From-To: freebsd-bugs->yongari Responsible-Changed-By: yongari Responsible-Changed-When: Tue Feb 15 02:54:37 UTC 2011 Responsible-Changed-Why: re(4) calls me again. According to the Chip/MAC revision number shown by re(4), the controller in question is RTL8401E PCIe Fast Ethernet controller. re(4) has no support for the controller at this moment. I don't have RTL8401E hardware but I'll let you know when I have an experimental patch. BTW, It's strange that the controller works with NetBSD/OpenBSD. Maybe their driver has a bug in recognizing Chip/MAC revision. The controller is fairly recent one and it may need to poke other undocumented registers to wake up from power down. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=154789
