Hi,
I use FBSD 7.0-Prerelease and I wanted to enable an onboard NIC.
ifconfig gives:
re0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=9b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM>
ether 00:18:f3:08:cc:bf
media: Ethernet 100baseTX <full-duplex> (10baseT/UTP <half-duplex>)
status: no carrier
Yet the status doesn't change whatever I do.
Any ideas?

I think the first thing might be to examine and determine exactly what
hardware is present. Look through your dmesg and utilize the command:
pciconf -lv.
What I'm wondering is if you're trying to use the wrong driver. This can be
sorted out by chip type. The 8139C+ and 8169 types should use re. If it is
a straight (older kind) of 8139 then try the rl driver instead.
I have heard of people having trouble with some of the 816x/811x/8101x
chips. I only have experience with the old style 8139 using the rl here.

Damn, I keep doing small invisible mistakes all the time. Thanks - saved
me from headbanging on the table.
