============================================== = Realtek 8139C/C+ Driver for FreeBSD V4.3 = ============================================== This driver is modified by Realtek Semiconductor corp. and it has been tested OK on FreeBSD 4.3. Because the FreeBSD kernel has a default Rtl8139C driver, this default driver will be loaded even though the NIC on your computer is Rtl8139C+ (because they have the same vender ID and device ID). To use the new features of 8139C+, you need to update your NIC driver and recompile your FreeBSD kernel. The main steps you have to do:(FreeBSDSrcDir means the directory of FreeBSD source code and it may be "/usr/src/sys") 0.Replace your NIC with 8139C+. 1.copy if_rl.c and if_rlreg.h to /FreeBSDSrcDir/pci directory 2.copy rl directory to /FreeBSDSrcDir/modules directory 3.recompile your kernel (you must install your FreeBSD source code first !!) # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf # /usr/sbin/config GENERIC # cd ../../compile/GENERIC # make depend # make # make install # reboot Q:How to check whether my new driver is working ? A:Use the "dmesg|more" command and if you can see "" then it is working.
