Description Trond Endrestøl 2021-07-14 06:44:56 UTC

There is at least one 2.5 Gbit/s NIC already in the source tree, igc(4). Would it be possible to import rge(4) from OpenBSD.

Comment 1 Trond Endrestøl 2021-07-14 07:55:12 UTC

Source for rge(4) can be found in https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/src/sys/dev/pci/.
So far I have identified if_rge.c and if_rgereg.h as being needed.
The driver does depend on MII.

The ASUS Prime X670 WiFi motherboard also seems to need this driver for the built-in 2.5 Gb NIC:

There is also a "FreeBSD 7.x and 8.0" driver on the Realtek website: https://www.realtek.com/en/component/zoo/category/network-interface-controllers-10-100-1000m-gigabit-ethernet-pci-express-software
