Description bas 2012-07-13 15:20:03 UTC 
When using FreeBSD 8.3 the Realtek Gbit NIC is supported and works properly using if_re. Not so for FreeBSD 9. Here's what I got from dmesg.

Jul 13 13:28:31 vmhost kernel: re0: <RealTek 8168/8111 B/C/CP/D/DP/E PCIe Gigabit Ethernet> port 0xe000-0xe0ff mem 0xf0004000-0xf0004fff,0xf00000000-0xf0003fff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci3

Jul 13 13:28:31 vmhost kernel: re0: device_attach: re0 attach returned 6

The re0 device simply isn't present.

On 8.3 this is what I get from dmesg:


re0: <RealTek 8168/8111 B/C/CP/D/DP/E/F PCIe Gigabit Ethernet> port 0xe000-0xe0ff mem 0xf0004000-0xf0004fff,0xf0000000-0xf0003fff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci3

Sadly I don't have physical access to the machine. It's a root server I rent at Hetzner.de.

How-To-Repeat: Install FreeBSD 9 on a device containing this Realtek NIC type.

State Changed
From-To: open->feedback

9.0-RELEASE came before 8.3-RELEASE so it lacks support for your 
controller. Use 9.1-BETA1 or stable/9 to get working network on 
FreeBSD 9.
