I just installed NetBSD-1.1 on an Intel Express with a 3C579. I am
having an odd problem with netstart configuring ep0 as my network
interface upon normal boot-up. When it comes up I get the following error:
ifconfig: link0: bad value
My hostname.ep0 file has the following entry in it:
inet dh_intel 0xffffff00 link0 link1
The odd part about this is that if I manually issue:
ifconfig ep0 dh_intel link0 link1
the interface comes up correctly... Is netstart having difficulty
parsing my hostname.ep0 file? I tried deleting the line in it and
retyping it just in case there might have been a hidden character in the
text somewhere, but that didn't work either.
