hi all,

does anybody know what i have to do to get the NetGear GA-621 card to operate
properly?  i asked this question on 6/29, and was told it was supported under
the gsip driver 
  (http://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2002/06/29/0011.html)
but $ man gsip shows a section in the BUGS section stating that this driver
does not support fiber optic cards, which the ga-621 is.  the chipset is the
same as the ga-622, but there's some differences, apparently.

i tried the card under -current 1.5ZC (i386) (src from about 3.5 months ago). 
the kernel recognised the card, but could not determine any media types.  when
i tried to manuall set it via ifconfig, i got an error
 ifconfig: gsip0: no link type?

i'm currently recompiling the kernel with -current 1.6C (i386) (from last
week), in hopes that something has changed with gsip since then.

anyone have any more information?
