  • Include rge(4) in 15/stable

    From Bernard Spil@brnrd@freebsd.org to muc.lists.freebsd.stable on Wed Mar 11 08:04:08 2026

    Hi,

    Can we please add rge(4) to 15/stable so it lands in 15.1?

    I've yet to see a negative report on the module in main, or on the net/realtek-rge-kmod port which is the rge(4) driver from current for 14/stable and 15/stable.
    The port was created because of the stability issues/crashes I and
    others were having with the net/realtek-re-kmod port.
    Would love to get rid of the port at the earliers possible time and not
    wait for stable/15 to be EoL.

    Thanks!

    Bernard (brnrd@)

    Oh, thats interesting - are you using it at 2.5 gig ? I have a box with
    one of these in it, and an Intel I-226V, which I was using but was
    not good so I replaced it with and older Intel 1gig card. If this driver
    went into 15.1 though, and its stable, I'd very much like to use
    the onboard Realtek instead.

    [ box is a Minisforum MS-A2, which I can highly recommend BTW! ]

    Thank you Adrian!

    Just making sure we keep the topic warm.

    Anything I can do to help? I assume this is about merging changes from OpenBSD?

    Cheers, Bernard.
