Hello, I've been trying to install NetBSD 1.3.1 on my sweet IIsi and
seting ethernet up. Basic install of base, kernel and etc, seems fine
but ethernet is not working although the nubus ether card seems 
recognized.

My nubus ethernet card has a biggest chip labeled DP8390DN
manufactured by Cayman systems(?). This one was pulled out of IIci.

After boot, ifconfig -a gives,

========================================================================
ae0: flags=8822<BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	address: 00:80:19:07:18:de
	media: manual
ppp0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ppp1: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lo0: flags=8009<UP,LOOPBACK,MULTICAST> mtu 32976
	inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 
sl0: flags=c010<POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 296
========================================================================

so it looks fine excpt "media: manual". Does this mean this media is
not supported? 

ifconfig inet 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0 does not work and gives the
error like,

ifconfig:SCICGIFLAGGS:inet:Device not configured.

Am I doing something wrong? or Is this card not supported for NetBSD?

Any help will be great appreciated.
