The problem is described there: https://forums.freebsd.org/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=22664&p=248509#p248509. I don't know if I can use formating here. The answer on forum sugessts filling bug report, so I've done it. I've installed FreeBSD 10.0 RELEASE amd64 on new machine: MSI B85M-G43 (MS-7823). With the following line in rc.conf: ifconfig_re0="DHCP" the Realtek NIC was detected and re(4) driver was initialized but the card can't get IP configuration from DHCP. After boot I can see in ifconfig re0: re0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=8209b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,WOL_MAGIC,LINKSTATE> ether 44:8a:5b:26:cc:ae nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex,master>) status: active The card doesn't have IP and doesn't work. I've tried set IP manually but it didn't help. After reading the posts in mentioned topic I've tried some options. I've logged to the system and make the command ifconfig re0 tso and the card gets IP in few seconds and everything worked fine. So I've changed rc.conf to: ifconfig_re0="DHCP tso" But it didn't help. And I've noticed that any change in one of the 3 parameters suggested on forum to turn off earlier: tso, rxcsum, txcsum changed after login makes the NIC working: ifconfig re0 -rxcsum or ifconfig re0 -txcsum helps too. It could be also -rxcsum inf rc.conf and ifconfig re0 rxcsum after login. And so on... pciconf says: re0@pci0:2:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x78231462 chip=0x816810ec rev=0x0c hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.' device = 'RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller' class = network subclass = ethernet bar [10] = type I/O Port, range 32, base rxe000, size 256, enabled bar [18] = type Memory, range 64, base rxf7c00000, size 4096, enabled bar [20] = type Prefetchable Memory, range 64, base rxf0000000, size 16384, enabled cap 01[40] = powerspec 3 supports D0 D1 D2 D3 current D0 cap 05[50] = MSI supports 1 message, 64 bit cap 10[70] = PCI-Express 2 endpoint IRQ 1 max data 128(128) link x1(x1) speed 2.5(2.5) ASPM disabled(L0s/L1) cap 11[b0] = MSI-X supports 4 messages, enabled Table in map 0x20[0x0], PBA in map 0x20[0x800] cap 03[d0] = VPD ecap 0001[100] = AER 1 0 fatal 0 non-fatal 0 corrected ecap 0002[140] = VC 1 max VC0 ecap 0003[160] = Serial 1 01000000684ce000 ecap 0018[170] = LTR 1 So I made a little workaround putting to /etc/rc.local line: /sbin/ifconfig re0 tso And I still have problems on start with the initial communication with DHCP but the interface wakes up after rc.local file is processed and seems to work properly afterwards. The rc.conf has only: ifconfig_re0="DHCP" How to make it better? Is there a problem with driver initialization? PS. I've had the same problem while trying to install. The system was installed using USB->Ethernet adapter. Fix: Change one of the tso, rxcsum and txcsum parameters for the re0 interface after booting. Maybe any change of the possible interface parameters? How-To-Repeat: Boot the system from CD on the MSI B85M-G43 (MS-7823) motherboard...

It seems your controller is RTL8168G. Recently marius@ committed a fix for several RealTek controllers. I guess it's worth to try the fix(r261531). Because there were a couple of style changes to re(4), I guess it would be better to grab latest re(4) driver source from HEAD and rebuild the driver on 10.0-RELEASE. Grab if_re.c and if_rlreg.h from the following URLs. http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/sys/dev/re/if_re.c http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/sys/pci/if_rlreg.h Use latest revision of the file. Copy if_re.c to /usr/src/sys/dev/re directory. and copy if_rlreg.h to /usr/src/sys/pci directory and rebuild kernel/reboot. Of course you may want to save if_re.c and if_rlreg.h files to safe place before overwriting them. Let me know whether latest driver works or not. Thanks.

I have what I believe is the same problem as Marcin. The interface despite being shown in ifconfig does not function until I take it down and then bring it back up. I have recompiled my kernel using the re driver from HEAD and then again with the patch applied and neither solved my problem. output of pciconf -lbev: re0@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x77211462 chip=0x816810ec rev=0x06 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.' device = 'RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller' class = network subclass = ethernet bar [10] = type I/O Port, range 32, base rxe000, size 256, enabled bar [18] = type Prefetchable Memory, range 64, base rxd0004000, size 4096, enabled bar [20] = type Prefetchable Memory, range 64, base rxd0000000, size 16384, enabled Corrected = Advisory Non-Fatal Error
batch change: For bugs that match the following - Status Is In progress AND - Untouched since 2018-01-01. AND - Affects Base System OR Documentation DO: Reset to open status. Note: I did a quick pass but if you are getting this email it might be worthwhile to double check to see if this bug ought to be closed.
