Realtek 8111E Driver for H/W revision: 0x2c800000 on pfSense 2.0
-
I have compiled Realtek's latest driver for all those who have issues with the Realtek 8111E NIC that has a higher revision then what that built in driver supports. The module is for pfSense 2.0 (FreeBSD 8.1) systems.
To install the module, place if_re.ko to /boot/kernel/. Next edit/create the file /boot/loader.conf.local and add if_re_load="YES" on its own line. Reboot and enjoy your onboard Realtek 8111E NIC
I have not tested the x64 version.

Can you please repost updated links.

Sorry, problem was on my end.
Thanks for compiling the drivers.
Muchly appreciated.

Hi,
I've tried the suggested fix on 2.0.1 x82 (32 bit) but see no difference.
The mother board nic's still don't seem to be detected.
Anything I can try?thanks

What evidence led you to that conclusion?

Hi, is there anyway to configure these drivers to load pre-installation. (i.e. by editting the .iso or install media)? Because my system won't recognise any interfaces (without the driver) I am unable to drop to a shell and edit the config files.
I used the 2.1 snapshot to succesfully install, and it recognises the NIC's, however, would rather run the stable release.

I'm getting the same problem still too. Loaded your module and won't recognize the adapters quite right. I tried compiling on 8.1 myself and loading it and same thing. This machine has other Realtek adapters (RealTek 8169/8169S/8169SB(L)/8110S/8110SB(L)) that do work fine with re, but they're not on the motherboard.
Here are details of the adapter that won't work:

I decided to just use a 2.1 snapshot since that is based on FreeBSD 8.3 and I'm just using this for a home firewall. The interfaces work perfectly fine now.

Hi,
I have the same problem with my onboard RTL8111E network adapter. I've also never loaded a driver for pfsense before. Would you be able to run me through the process of loading the driver? I have pfsense release 2.0.2 burned to CD and am ready to install it, I have also downloaded the Realtek driver from your link in your previous post, see below:
Could you run me through the commands to place the driver "if_re.ko" into the kernel and to edit the loader.Thanks, Thomas.

Please help.

How are you attempting to upload the file? Please post the command (if applicable) and the problem report. (A bit more more context might be informative.)

I have the same problem with error 22 on pfsense 2.01
Can anyone help? It's not possible for me to go to Version 2.1I have copied re_if.ko to /boot/kernel and have edited the loader.conf.local and the loader.conf.
No success.
