ed.rushani.jp 5.0-CURRENT-20020616-JPSNAP FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT-20020616-JPSNAP #0: Fri Jun 21 16:39:17 GMT 2002     root@ed.rushani.jp:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ED  i386
>Description:
According to the commit log in revision 1.166 of src/etc/defaults/pccard.conf,

  fix MELCO LPC3-TX config
        use ``config auto''
        add ether line

but `ether line' was added in BUFFALO LPC3-CLX, not in BUFFALO LPC3-TX. This
line should be added in MELCO LPC3-TX config.

In current status (both -current and -stable), you will get an incorrect MAC
address When LPC3-TX is inserted like follows:

  ed1: address 01:02:00:ff:xx:xx, type NE2000 (16bit)

If add 'ether 0x1c8' line into the relevant position, you will get a correct
MAC address like follows:

  ed1: address 00:40:26:xx:xx:xx, type NE2000 (16bit)

P.S. I also reported this problem at

  [bsd-nomads:16359]
    http://www.clave.gr.jp/ml/bsd-nomads/200206/msg00034.html (in Japanese)

>How-To-Repeat:
insert MELCO LPC3-TX into your laptop.

>Fix:
put

  ether   0x1c8

line into configuration of BUFFALO LPC3-TX.
