System: NetBSD sopwith.uucp 1.6.2 NetBSD 1.6.2 (ALPHA-$Revision: 1.4 $) #11: Tue Jun 29 12:05:05 PDT 2004 root@sopwith.uucp:/usr/src/sys/arch/alpha/compile/SOPWITH alpha
Architecture: alpha
Machine: alpha
>Description:
	Multiple tulip boards, using the tlp driver, attempt to share an interrupt,
and don't work.

See:
	http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/netbsd-help/2004/05/18/0006.html
	http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/netbsd-help/2004/05/19/0006.html

	http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/netbsd-help/2004/05/21/0002.html

>How-To-Repeat:
	Plug in 2 tulip boards, use the tlp driver, observe that only one works,
presumably because they are attempting to share an interrupt.
>Fix:

workaround #1:

	The fix in http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/netbsd-help/2004/05/19/0006.html
works for me, however note that Manuel Bouyer says it will break multi-port boards.

workaround #2:

	I did get the de driver working, by hard coding the media type
in /etc/rc.conf.  However, I get the impression that the de driver may go
away someday?
