Subject:   SMC PCI card - Cant load 2.1R

I've been trying to load 2.1R via NFS with an AP5C 120mhz Pentium with
an SMC EtherPower card (I've used this card successfully with FreeBSD
before) and it doesnt work. It probes the card properly (de0) but when it 
goes to NFS attach it failes (portmap failure..)...I have a lan moniter and 
nothing is being put out by the card. Putting an NE2000 into the box and it 
loads just fine. 

After bringing the machine up...it is apparent that the card doesn't work
in the box at all. It doesn't hang, and you dont get an error...but the
card doesn't transmit anything.

I've used this card before (not with this MB)..is there a bug fix or something 
that I've missed?


Thanks,


Dennis
