VIA VT6105 Rhine III on FreeBSD 4.9 Release

[Martin Hudec]

Hi there,

this network card is able to work with 4.9 release, as they say in hardware 
compatibility list:

VIA Technologies VT3043 ``Rhine I'', VT86C100A ``Rhine II'', and VT6105/
VT6105M ``Rhine III'' Fast Ethernet NICs ( vr(4) driver)

Maybe your kernel is not configured for this card (GENERIC kernel misses a lot 
of stuff :))

This card requires these devices in kernel:
device miibus
device vr

Take  a look into /usr/src/sys/i386/conf, there is a file named GENERIC which 
holds configuration of your kernel. Try to look for those devices inside.

cheers,
M.
