Re: NetBSD 5.0.2 issues with Realtek Gigabit

Thanks.  I'll give that a try this weekend and report back.

FYI, I upgraded the BIOS on the motherboard to the latest (version 0311), and 
that fixed the speed (ifconifig now reports 1000baseT), but the MAC address is 
still off.  

Many thanks,
Stephen
