I'm now stuck at the networking part and wonder if kernel support is
available for motherboards with an integrated RealTek 8201 based
ethernet.
I don't think this is supported - most RealTek chipsets supported are
the 81xx series.  Someone (Joerg?) may have a more authoritative answer.
If you have any spare Ethernet cards around that are on this list:

They are probably supported and could be used until there's a driver
appropriate to your motherboard.
Thanks. I'll be looking for an el cheapo card then for the time being or  
hold off from DragonFly BSD for the time being.

Kind regards,

Remco
