>Description:
So, I'm using a D-Link NIC with a VIA Rhine II chipset (exactly a VIA
VT6102 Rhine II 10/100BaseTX) for hooking up to the WAN.

When rebooting the system the vr0-device (this is the nic's order) has
no carrier signal. Plugging out the endpoint and plugging it back in
(the cable :) restores the signal.

There is no instability while the carrier is online, it's just gone when
the nic is reinitialized e.g. by rebooting.

This makes remote rebooting unusable.

I tested the nic in a different system on a different operating system
and it works fine there.

That's what makes me suspect the driver for the card.
If used vr as the driver for the nic.
>How-To-Repeat:
Reboot the system or reinitialize the card.
>Fix:

 Martin,
 
 I'm sorry seeing your problem report untouched for quite some time now.
 
 Can you please report back if your problem is still valid even with a
 more recent release of FreeBSD (6.3/7.0)?
 
 If it's still a problem, I'm wondering if you can check Pyun's reworked
 vr driver and provide him feedback? For more information about his
 recent work, please have a look at PR kern/109477 which contains URLs
 for patches.
 
 Please give us feedback if your problem is not an issue anymore so we
 can go ahead and close this ticket.
 
 Thanks for reporting!
