Solved Problem load driver for network interface

[andrian]

Hello, there is a nuance.
I ordered a server in Hetzner and after installation (FreeBSD 14.0 amd64) there is no network interface.
dmesg:

Motherboard ASUS TUF GAMING B650M-PLUS
on the Internet I found that it is realtek network controller (2.5G)

Has anyone experienced this problem?

They are selling gaming hardware as servers?

I'd refuse to pay anything for that. That's not a server.


Regarding the original problem: what kind of realtek chipset (and variant) is that? They usually have a myriad of slightly different variations of their chipsets, especially on gaming crap... You might need to add the specific device ID (see pciconf -l) to the corresponding driver for that chipset. OTOH realtek isn't particularly reliable, so I'd still refuse to accept that thing as a server... I highly doubt it even has ECC RAM...

At least it's more productive than raspberry pi.

Yes, I did. Solved it with port net/realtek-re-kmod that you load from /boot/loader.conf. It works well for me.
Please note that there are two versions of this port as a result of a bug, see bugzilla bug #275882 for details.

Thank you, you helped me, your recommendation worked. I'm happy.
