Hi all,

i have some trouble with a realtek-card on my netbsd-box
My box had 2 DE450TA(10mbit)cards.Both working w/o problems.
A few days ago,i=B4ve got another hub(100mbit only;12-port;allied
telesyn).
Because of the 100mbit-only i replaced de1 with an realtek 8139c-based =

10/100mbit card to connect it to my new hub.
But it doesnt work.
I removed the /etc/ifconfig.de1 and
wrote an ifconfig.rtk0 and saved it in /etc :

bash-2.03# cat ifconfig.rtk0
inet 192.168.2.254 netmask 0xffffff00 =


when i try to get it up,i get the following
error message:

bash-2.03# ifconfig rtk0 up
ifconfig: SIOCGIFFLAGS rtk0: Device not configured

here is the dmesg output:

bash-2.03# dmesg

what does "device not configured" mean?
is there no realtek support in the GENERIC installation kernel?
i haven=B4t tried netbsd-1.5,is there realtek support in GENERIC?

regards
