Hi, does anyone have any idea whether VIA VT6102 "Rhine II" and Realtek RTL 8100 Ethernet chips are supported by FreeBSD? The hardware list for supported chips does list 'VT86C100A "Rhine II"' but according to VIA website VT86C100A is actually just "Rhine" and it is obviously not the same chip. (The 'VT3043 "Rhine I"' chip mentioned in hardware list can not be found with the search function on the VIA website at all.) Thanks, Tuomo

The names of the Rhine-chips listed for FreeBSD is a little bit confusing. Be prepared to get the same kind of confusion when you look at the dmesg output during a boot.... Can't say anything about Realtek chips. /thn -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Svensk Aktuell Elektronik AB Thomas Nystr?m Box 10 Phone: +46 8 35 92 85 S-191 21 Sollentuna Fax: +46 8 35 92 86 Sweden Email: thn@saeab.se ---------------------------------------------------------------

My KT400 based board has this and works fine. -- Doug White | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve dwhite@gumbysoft.com | www.FreeBSD.org
