You shouldn't need a driver to get that adapter working... That's been my experience.Do I need to install a driver to get a USB ethernet adapter (RTL8153 Gigabit Ethernet) working with FreeBSD?
When I plug it in, a new interface shows up, (UE1) but running dhclient ue1 does receive any offers.
Am I missing something?
service netif restart
(as root). Sometimes it's onerestart
, rather than restart
...netwait_ip="${defaultrouter}"
because defaultrouter is set in /etc/rc.conf, it's on the subnet configured for my ue0, and it's pretty much always present on the subnet.When I plug it in, a new interface shows up, (UE1) but running dhclient ue1 does receive any offers.
I'm not sure why, but it suddenly started working.....Does it detect a carrier on the wire? What does ifconfig say"
