I think it's great that you've gone through this process for us! Could you please prive an ISO to burn for us Windows dummies?

Please try this and report back, I am unable to test it:

Hi,

I am getting the following message during the BSD boot up when it loads the rl0: Ethernet address: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

"This product is covered by one or more of the following patents:US5,307,459, US5,434,872, US5,732,094, US6,570,884, US6,115,776, and US6,327,625"

and it hangs there for about 5 mins before it resumes the booting up.

Any idea how can I solve this?

The Realtek-supplied if_re driver will be in the next m0n0wall release (1.33), but I want to make sure that it works for the various kinds of Realtek chip models/versions and doesn't break anything.

So I'd be grateful if some of you Realtek users could test the following pre-release image on a non-critical box and give some feedback in this forum thread:

Thanks!

Using three ancient RealTek 8139 10/100BaseTX PCI (DFE-530 TX+ Rev.C1) cards in an antique Pentium/P55C (166.59-MHz 586-class CPU) box, so far so good with generic-pc-1.33-pre1.img. Nothing seems to be broken.

I've upgraded the image remotely and rebooted, takes 100 seconds to reboot.
Looking good, I am using Realtek 8111D.

Thanks.!

Donation coming up. 

Worked like a champ here too!  The only thing for people who were using the if_rl driver before; make sure you have console enabled!  As the nics will all come up as reX instead of rlX.  Other than that after a quick remapping no problems at all.  I'm using a Jetway NC92-230-LF with the Jetway 3x10/100/1000 add-on board and all 4 nics came up.

Thanks again!

Any chance that the glxsb driver will make it into the next m0n0 release?
