Re: P811B Quad Port NIC problem.

Hi,

I applied the patch provided by Pyun YongHyeon to the rl driver.
Then put
hint.rl.0.prefer_iomap=3D"0" # for rl0
hint.rl.1.prefer_iomap=3D"0" # for rl1
hint.rl.3.prefer_iomap=3D"0" # for rl3

and all 3 adapters are now working fine.

I absolutely agree that Realtek makes low-end adapters.

But in my case scenario I am building a router with WiFi access point
and this particular device allows me to do it on mini-ITX board (
single PCI slot ).

Again ... I want to send my thanks and regards to Pyun for making this
possible for me.

Regards,
Nikola
