This seems to be fixed by adding 2 more spare bytes to the
an_ltv_status datastructure in anreg.h. I.e. change line 503 (on
NetBSD-1.5.x, but similar on -current):
»·······u_int16_t»······»·······an_spare[2];
into:
»·······u_int16_t»······»·······an_spare[4];
This makes the ifconfig up succeed on 1.5.x. I haven't tested
actually letting it talk to anything, but it looks ok sofar.
I'll let you know whether the card is fully working now when I get
home again (tomorrow).
However, when I tried a -current kernel (1.5S) I run into a new
problem. I get the following error messages:
``failed to enable MAC''
These appear on -current with either type card I have. Also the one
that worked fine with a kernel -current as of approx. Feb-14. I looked
at cvsweb for changes that might be the cause, but I cannot see any
directly related files that have changed in the past few weeks.
In case that it's machine-specific; this happens on a thinkpad 770,
with cardbus compiled in the kernel.
