Netgear GA511

Anyone gotten a netgear ga511 (gig-e cardbus card) to
work...

I get:
--------------
re0: <RealTek 8169SB/8110SB Single-chip Gigabit
Ethernet> port 
0x4000-0x40ff mem 0xc0205000-0xc02051ff at device 0.0 on
cardbus0
: PHY read failed
re0: MII without any phy!
device_attach: re0 attach returned 6
--------------

Every time I try it.. I have not dug in any to
see whats going on....

And if someone knows of a Gig-E cardbus card that works.. I
would gladly go purchase that instead :-D

Thanks

R

I have a:

re0pci0:11:0:  class=0x020000 card=0x311a1385
chip=0x816910ec rev=0x10
hdr=0x00 vendor   = 'Realtek Semiconductor'
    device   = 'RTL8169 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter'
    class    = network
    subclass = ethernet

Which is a GA511 too, and it also doesn't work, but I get
this message as
long as the interface is up or trying to get up, with 2-3
seconds interval:

	re0: link state changed to DOWN
	re0: 2 link states coalesced

The NIC works, as it was being used on a Linux box and a
couple of times
with a winxp box, without any issues.

ifconfig also reports it as "no carrier", and
the leds on my switch for it
doesn't light up.  sometimes it just work, often not, right
after the
interface configuration step during boot.  I found a PR
somewhat related to
this issue, but can't find it now.

My solution was to use my onboard NIC (a via rhine ii),
instead.

Ricardo:

That does not help me since I am on a laptop :-0

However... I just tried the Evil project's ndis
driver.. and that works.. so I have a working card
now .. don't know how good the performance will be
but I don't care :-D
