Hi there, I have a Kingston 10/100 PCI enet card in my Asus T2P4. Normally it probes like: de0 <Digital 21140A Fast Ethernet> rev 34 int a irq 14 on pci0:9:0 de0: 21140A [10-100Mb/s] pass 2.2 de0: address 00:c0:f0:30:41:fb But sometimes: Sep 23 19:33:26 yedi /kernel: de0 <Digital 21140A Fast Ethernet> rev 34 int a ir q 14 on pci0:9:0 Sep 23 19:33:26 yedi /kernel: de0: can't find phy 0 Sep 23 19:33:26 yedi /kernel: de0: can't read ENET ROM (why=-4) (462601000000000 000000000000000006b00030100c0f03041fb001e00000008 Sep 23 19:33:26 yedi /kernel: de0: 21140A [10-100Mb/s] pass 2.2 Sep 23 19:33:26 yedi /kernel: de0: address unknown So, from looking in the driver I learned two things: - detecting/reading the MAC address is a black art (the driver comments are pretty clear ;-) - maybe somebody already fixed this problem. This is 2.2.6R by the way.
