I'm having a different (less fatal) kind of problem with the ethernet card
in my XXvx. On boot it says
} NetBSD 1.1A (GENERIC) #55: Sat Mar 16 22:40:33 PST 1996
} root2@wormhole:/disk2/src=sys/arch/mac68k/compile/GENERIC
} Apple Macintosh IIvx (68030)
} real mem == 8388608
<snip>
} /netbsd: nubus0: slot d: DNI Ethernet Card (Vendor: Cabletron Systems, Part: 0000) not configured
It seems to be ignoring the card. I don't know if this is because:
1. There's no media atached to the card,
2. Some option I'm unaware of is switched off, or
3. MacBSD doesn't know how to drive the card (despite its DP8390CN chip)
Any suggestions?
I guess a fourth possibility is that the card is defective. I haven't yet
been able to test it under MacOS either. The card is a Cabletron E6010.

PS. Does anyone out there have a recent kernel compiled with GATEWAY turned
on that I can ftp? If I can get ethernet working, then PPP routing is
my next step.
