The latest if_de.c (& dc21040.h) in -current /usr/src/sys/pci understand how the enet address is encoded on newer ROMs. I had this problem with a recent DE500-XA using the 21140 chip. I dropped in the new driver on my 2.0.5-950622-SNAP system and the card has been working ever since. -Chris On Thu, 19 Oct 1995 sfinn@pobox.com wrote: > 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?
