 *>Synopsis:*        lii(4): fails to read the MAC address
 
 
 Sorry this is coming so long after your initial PR, but can you confirm that
 the patch you attached to the PR both allows lii(4) to read the MAC address, 
but also
 makes the interface usable?  I was working with someone on IRC today who 
experienced
 similar problems - your patch made the MAC address read, and the interface 
attached,
 but the interface would not detect link up:
 
 lii0 at pci3 dev 0 function 0: Attansic/Atheros L2 Fast Ethernet
 lii0: Ethernet address 00:1e:8c:ac:24:08
 lii0: interrupting at ioapic0 pin 17
 ukphy0 at lii0 phy 1: OUI 0x00c82e, model 0x0002, rev. 2
 ukphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto
 
 but:
 
 lii0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        address: 00:1e:8c:ac:24:08
        media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
        status: no carrier
        inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 255.255.255.255
        inet6 fe80::21e:8cff:feac:2408%lii0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
 
 
 ...obviously there may be a further problem, but if your patch works for you, 
I see no reason
 not to commit it, and continue working whatever problems remain.
 
 (Note that I do not actually have said hardware myself, so I can't directly 
test)
