I recently installed FreeBSD 5.4 on an ABIT AA-8 DuraMax and all went
well. All hardware detected properly and everything was running great,
until I got to configuring my network. ifconfig shows my onboard
gigabit LAN as "status: no carrier"
I can successfully ping localhost and the IP that was assigned to re0
(192.168.1.31).
when I plug an ethernet cable from my FreeBSD box to my router, I get
"status: no carrier." Oddly, when I plug an ethernet cable from my
FreeBSD box to my laptop's LAN port, I get "status: active". The lights
on the ethernet jack indicate the same.
Additionally, if I manually set the media with the following command:
# ifconfig re0 media 10baseT/UTP mediaopt full-duplex
The status magically switches to "active" and I can use my ethernet!
I know that there are known problems with RealTek chipsets, but it is
listed in the 5.4 supported hardware list.
Bottom line is that the onboard LAN is detected, installed, and working
properly, but it seems as if the driver can't properly detect when a
cable is plugged into the jack.
I was hoping someone could help.
