Good time of the day to all!

There is a machine with GA-K8N51GMF-RH motherboard and so onboard LAN
(RTL 8201 chip (10/100Mbit). The OS is FreeBSD 6.1-Release.

I've tried to bring it up, but still it does not work.

Actually, the standard nve-driver is not appropriate for it. So I tried
to bring up an alternative configuration and followed pieces of advices
from http://www.se.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~shigeaki/software/freebsd-nfe.html.
(In short: there is proposed to use nfe driver instead nve)

It seemed I achieved  desired result: after kernel recompilation, making
if_nfe module and kldloading it nfe0 appeared in the system. I've got
the fully-configurable interface (I can assign IP-address, netmask and
additional options as well, can bring it up and throw it down) But machine
can't communicate through the network! I can ping an IP-address, which
assigned to the nfe0 only, but it is impossible even to ping other
machines within network. It seems like packets do not reach to the
lowest (physical) level of ISO/OSI model.

I'm not sure that somebody wants to have such an headache like mine, but
still. Are the anybody has such a problem? Is there wayout?

Thanks.
Sincerely, Andrey

State-Changed-When: Wed Jul 14 08:08:21 UTC 2010 
State-Changed-Why:  
nve is deprecated in favor of nfe, recent versions of freebsd will link 
to nfe instead of nve. Please test that and report back in case of 
problems.
