Observations

This driver is modified by Realtek Semiconductor corp. and it has been tested OK
on FreeBSD v5.1. To update the driver, you may use method 1. If method 1 failed,
you must use method 2 which is more complex.

Method 1:
1.Copy if_rl.ko in "modules" directory to "/modules" directory and overwrite
the existing file.
2.Modify the file "/boot/defaults/loader.conf" and set "if_rl_load" in "Network
drivers" section to "Yes"
3.Reboot.

Method 2:
Because the FreeBSD kernel has a default Rtl8139C driver, this default driver
will be loaded even though the NIC on your computer is Rtl8139C+(because they
have the same vender ID and device ID). To use the new features of 8139C+, you
need to update your NIC driver and recompile your FreeBSD kernel.

The main steps you have to do:(FreeBSDSrcDir means the directory of FreeBSD source code
and it may be "/usr/src/sys")

0.Replace your NIC with the card listed above.
1.copy if_rl.c and if_rlreg.h to /FreeBSDSrcDir/pci directory
2.recompile your kernel (you must install your FreeBSD source code first !!)

# cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
# /usr/sbin/config GENERIC
# cd ../../compile/GENERIC
# make depend
# make
# make install
# reboot
