>Description:
NetBSD's "de" driver fails to probe the ports of a SMC 8434BT - two channel
DEC 21040-AA based ethernet board - correctly. Next to the two UTP ports the
board has two BNC ports but NetBSD's thinks it has two AUI ports.

Here is what the kernel says during system startup:
de0 at pci1 dev 4 function 0
de0: interrupting at irq 10
de0: SMC 8434BT-CH1 21040 [10Mb/s] pass 2.3
de0: address 00:00:c0:38:66:e0
de1 at pci1 dev 5 function 0
de1: interrupting at irq 9
de1: SMC 8434BT-CH2 21040 [10Mb/s] pass 2.3
de1: address 00:00:c0:07:1c:c0

And that is what "ifconfig -m" says:
de0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        media: autoselect (10baseT/UTP) status: active
        supported media: autoselect 10base5/AUI manual 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP
        inet 194.123.65.90 netmask 0xfffffff8 broadcast 194.123.65.95

de1: flags=8c22<BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,OACTIVE,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        media: autoselect
        supported media: autoselect 10base5/AUI manual 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP
        inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0x0 

Even if I manually switch the interface to "aui" media the BNC port still
won't work. The cabling and the board are fine because the Linux driver
works without any problems.

>How-To-Repeat:
Try to use a BNC port on a SMC 8434BT.

>Fix:
Sorry, but I don't know.
