Hi!
I installed FreeBSD 11.0 today and cannot get ethernet to work.
My ethernet device:
Qualcomm Atheros AR8161 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10)
The alc(4) man page states that the device is supported.
On BSD startup, dhclient fails to get an IP from the router (DHCP works fine for Windows and Linux on the same machine).
ifconfig output:
I tried to set a static IP by modifying /etc/rc.conf:
This does not work, too. ifconfig sets the new IP, but i cannot ping anything on the local network (timeout) or the internet (no route) and the computer cannot be pinged by other computers on the network (timeout).
Any idea what goes wrong here?
Best regards,
Dirk
