I have a Shuttle DS47 with two Realtek 8111G gigabit cards.
It will be nice when FreeBSD 8.x and newer will support this card natively. At the moment is the only way to install the driver manually and rebuild the kernel:
http://www.realtek.com.tw/Downloads...d=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false
Specification of DS47:
Dual Gigabit LAN Controller
Dual Realtek 8111G Ethernet network controller (Gigabit)
Supports 10 / 100 / 1.000 MBit/s operation
With two RJ45 ports (dual network) supports teaming [2]
Supports Wake On LAN (WOL)
Supports network boot by Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE)
[2] Teaming Mode
The teaming function allows you to group both available network adapters together to function as a single adapter - a method of creating a virtual LAN. The benefit of this approach is that it enables load balancing and failover.
Is it planned to include the new drivers to current FreeBSD 8?
