Hi,
I installed FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE i386 version today. It's supposed to be my router, so it has two network adapters: re0 and rl0.
Everything worked fine at the morning with my old 8.0 server (or was it even an older version?). After I made a fresh install with 9.1-RELEASE I now can't get re0 to connect as it keeps on saying "no carrier". I haven't touched the cables, so they are fine.
However, the router I have connected to re0 now only lights up the 100 M light instead of the 1000 M light. I don't know why, since this network adapter is a gigabit adapter.
I am overwhelmed. I tried
I also tried setting media to 1000TX as suggested elsewhere, but still no effect.
I tried to switch the cable to a different slot in the switch but it lights the orange 100 M light in every port. Can't get it to light up the green 1 Gb light. And can't get it to find carrier signal...

ifconfig media 10baseT/UTP mediaopt full-duplex
but still no carrier. This was recommended somewhere after a ton of Googling. I also tried setting media to 1000TX as suggested elsewhere, but still no effect.
