Hi,

I have an Encore interface card with RealTek 8169s chipset and an 
integrated Broadcom 5788.

For the first one I tried to install the FreeBSD driver from RealTek web 
site without success. I got from this site: 
http://people.freebsd.org/~wpaul/RealTek/4-stable/re.tar.gz
another driver and compiled the kernel, but on boot it reconizes another 
chipset (below) and the auto select always get 10Mbps Half. I would like 
to get 1Gbps.

dmesg output:
re0: <RealTek 8110S Single-chip Gigabit Ethernet> port 0xec00-0xecff mem 
0xdffff
f00-0xdfffffff irq 10 at device 7.0 on pci0

What are the correct steps to install this realtek driver correctely? 
And the broadcom 5788, can I make it work on FreeBSD 4.9?

Thanks in advance,

Augusto
