Realtek RTL8168/8111 Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapter problem
Hello,
I am unable to get running NIC Realtek RTL8168/8111 on SunOS turio 5.11 snv_43 i86pc i386 i86pc (Solaris Express x86) on notebook MSI S271 with CPU AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-50 CPU 1.
As far as I've known, kernel should use the modul rge, but devfsadm can't attached.
NIC was working on Solaris 10 with the gani module (gani-2.2.0 source) driver.
When I attach gani on snv_43 kernel I am getting:
[kern.info] gani0: chip is RTL8168B/8111B rev.B rev:0x01 tcr:0x30000000
[kern.warning] WARNING: gani0: gem_alloc_memory: ddi_dma_addr_bind_handle failed: -3

It appears that even the manufacturer has no driver, either
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloads1-3.aspx?keyword=RTL8168
... plenty for other Operating Environments, but not for any version Solaris
irrespective whether "Express" or not.
I have not checked but maybe the subject has been discussed
in one of the Open Solaris forums?

Well, I've installed last NexentaOS, I was able to attached driver rge to pci, I was able to plumb the NIC rge0 , I was able to configure IP adress, I was able to ping itself, there were messages about link status on the NIC too, but I am not able to ping anywhere ...
.. tested by linux boot, that a cabel and other staff is fine on the network ...
give up .. back to solaris 10 with old Xorg ..

Finally, the Realtek RTL8168/8111 NIC is working on MSI S271 ..
bfu'ed kernel SunOS turio 5.11 opensol-20060724
and newer package SUNWrge from solaris-network-drivers@Sun.COM (thanks Kerry Shu) :

Hello,
I obtained the driver by email from solaris-network-drivers@Sun.COM as a standard solaris package, so I used pkgrm SUNWrge first and then pkgadd.
