OK...after some pretty inspired recommendations on Ethernet adapters
from you folks I went out and bought some SMC EtherPower cards for
my three FreeBSD machines...I rebuilt the kernel including device de0,
installed and rebooted and got this:
de0 <Digital DC21041 Ethernet> rev 17 int a irq 11 on pci0:18
reg20: virtual=0xf5c5700 physical=0xf0211000size=0x80
de0: can't read ENET ROM (why=-4) (0000000000000000000000000000000000
0001010000c083be001e00000008
de0: DC21041 [10Mb/s] pass 1.1 Ethernet address unknown
Anybody got a clue as to what is wrong? It appears to have the Ethernet
address imbedded in the numeric string it barfs out, but it doesn't get
it.....and neither do I.....HELP!!!
