Realtek RTL8102EL on Intel Atom mini ITX Board

[mlabenda]

Just got the new Intel Atom Mini ITX Board
Try to install pfsense 1.2 rel.
CD boots fine and founds my Intel Pro100 Card in the PCI Slot

But it does not find the onboard NIC

Realtek RTL8102EL

Any Idea how to get this card working ?

As has been stated elsewhere, please try using a version of pfsense 1.2 based off FreeBSD 6.3 and see what happens.

@cmb:

FreeBSD 6.3 probably works better with this NIC. There is a pfSense 1.2 with a FreeBSD 6.3 base available here: 
http://cvs.pfsense.org/~sullrich/testing_images/6/FreeBSD_RELENG_6_3/pfSense_RELENG_1_2/

that several thousand people have downloaded to use with newer hardware and it's proven to work well.

The 1.2.1 release will be based on 6.3 as well, snapshots will be coming soon.

The re driver in 6.3rel should support the card

Unfortunately, it doesn't. For more information see this thread (click).
