Need driver for Realtek RTL8103E chip

scientist

Hi,

i have a new board with a Realtek RTL8103E networking chip.
pfsense says something like this:

kernel: re0: <realtek 10="" 8101e="" 8102e="" 8102el="" pcie="" 100basetx="">port 0xec00-0xecff mem 0xfebff000-0xfebfffff,0xfdff0000-0xfdffffff irq 18 at device 0.0 on pci3
kernel: re0: Using 1 MSI messages
kernel: re0: Chip rev. 0x34800000
kernel: re0: MAC rev. 0x00400000
kernel: re0: Unknown H/W revision: 0x34c00000
kernel: device_attach: re0 attach returned 6

FreeBSD 8.1 supports this chip.

Is there a driver around for this hardware? How can I get it working?

Sincerely,

Friedemann</realtek>

There's a good chance that support for this device will be in 2.0. Try running one of the latest beta snaps and make sure this is the case.

Hi,

i tried to install the latest 2.0 iso, but it hangs with

Any ideas?

Hi,

the latest snapshot works now. I just had to ignore the cd errors.

Realtek card is recognized correctly.

Thanks for the help!

Best,

Hi,
I have the same problem. Would you be so kind to explain me how to ignore the cd errors?
Thanks for the help!

Hi,

i was just waiting and doing nothing. The install continued then.

No idea why.

Best,

Friedemann
