Module for Realtek RTL8111B ethernet NIC

[fbsd]

Hi All,

I have just installed PC-BSD on an Asus A8JS laptop. The Realtek 
RTL8111B ethernet NIC does not work so I'm looking for a bit of help.

As far as I can tell the driver for this NIC is the rl driver (the 
module is called if_rl.ko), but I also found a place where the driver 
was listed as the re driver. So the first question is whether someone 
can clarify this?

The NIC is not recognised during boot as there is no mention of it in 
dmesg, which leads me to think that maybe this NIC is not supported by 
the version of the driver in PC-BSD 1.3 (based on FreeBSD 6.1). Realtek 
provide a FreeBSD driver on their site and the Readme says to install by 
either of two methods: 1. Put the if_rl.ko module in /modules folder, 
etc but  the if_rl.ko file is not provided or 2. place new versions of 
the source code files into source and compile  the module but since I 
have no connectivity I can't download source to do this.

I have thought about how to get around these problems and have a couple 
of ideas.
1. Someone could email me an up to date version of the module. The re 
and rl drivers are compiled in the kernel according to the PC-BSD kernel 
configuration file. Will this conflict with any module I load?
2. Is it possible to download source on another pc and transfer it to 
the laptop on cd or usb drive so I can try the compile route. Please 
note that I have tried the source code PBI from the PC-BSD website, but 
some of the directories that should then exist according to the readme 
file are missing so that doesn't work.

Thanks for any help.
