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! ]

-pete.

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.
