Sorry, dc(4) is not supported yet on sparc64; it needs to be
busdmaified for this. There also seem to be a few minor endianess
issues. I don't know offhand why the MAC address would be zeroed,
possibly another different srom format (endianess issues will cause it
to be wrong with the current code, but obviously not to be zeroed).

Huh? The status seems to be detected correctly:

Or did you mean the other adapter?

In any case, your machine will probably already crash when you assign
an interface address to one of the dc's because of the problems
mentioned above.
