[OmniOS-discuss] Realtek ethernet driver

[Frank Pittel]

I have an addon ethernet board in my machine that uses a RTL8169 chip. The driver loads and I am able to configure it and assign the nic an IP
address. However when I connect a cable to it the nic doesn't respond to ping, ssh, etc. The intel onboard nic works without issue.

The relevent entry from lspci is:
Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8169 PCI Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 10)

Is there a known issue with the driver?
