The re driver has been around since FreeBSD 5.1 according to its manual page, which also states how to set it up ;-)
So it should be included unless DesktopBSD does strange things with their LKMs. Modern FreeBSD at least, has it built into the kernel (PC-BSD uses a custom kernel conf). If DesktopBSD doesn't seem to have it:
Code:
$ kldstat -v | grep if_re
then edit /boot/loader.conf to load it at boot, and manually load the LKM:
Code:
# echo 'if_re_load="YES"' >> /boot/loader.conf
# kldload if_re
I don't use DesktopBSD, so I can't say anything or know much about its standard setup.
