help installing NIC driver
I have a NAS4Free server running V 10.2.0.2 (2433) as an X64-embedded installation. I am trying to swap out an old linksys switch for a new tp-link switch. The default re0 nic driver does not seem to work with the tp-link switch and also I don't think it supports the 1000mb speed. I researched and found that I need the re4 driver for RealTek RTL8111 series network controller. Does anyone know how to install the re4 driver into the x64-embedded installation? Thanks in advance!

You don't. Get an intel card. It's 15 bucks on ebay.

Re: help installing NIC driver
So, a couple of things could be happening. Either you found the only Intel NIC in history that doesn't work in unix, or you aren't seating the card properly, or your PCIE-E slot is dead, or you don't know that it's detected. So let's see if it's detected.bradgsmit wrote:I have purchased an Intel NIC and installed it but it is not being recognized now. Any tips?
pciconf -lv
ifconfig | grep media
ifconfig em0
dmesg | grep -i network
If your card isn't above then it isn't detected, and something lower level is going on. You may need to clear your BIOS(rip out the battery/replace battery) or hit factory defaults in case it's holding a stale configuration.
