Hi,

I put a new ethernet card in my machine (NetBSD/macppc 1.6 GENERIC), but I'm
having some trouble making it work.  The card is labeled FriendlyNet,
AsantéFast 690 PCI Adapter.  It is recognized when the system boots, and here's
what it says:

tlp0 at pci0 dev 14 function 0: Lite-On 82C115 Ethernet, pass 2.5
tlp0: broken MicroWire interface detected; setting SROM size to 1Kb
tlp0: interrupting at irq 24
tlp0: Ethernet address 00:00:94:cc:6c:7f
tlp0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto

I have the following in /etc/dhclient.conf:

interface "mc0" {
        request subnet-mask, routers, broadcast-address, domain-name,
domain-name-servers, host-name;
}

I hoped I could simply replace "mc0" with "tlp0", but it doesn't get an
address:

Dec 11 14:15:15  dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on tlp0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
interval 3
Dec 11 14:15:18  dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on tlp0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
interval 4
Dec 11 14:15:22  dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on tlp0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
interval 7
Dec 11 14:15:29  dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on tlp0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
interval 13
Dec 11 14:15:42  dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on tlp0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67

Dec 11 14:15:53  dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on tlp0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
interval 9
Dec 11 14:16:02  dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on tlp0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
interval 10
Dec 11 14:16:12  dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on tlp0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
interval 4
Dec 11 14:16:16  dhclient: No DHCPOFFERS received.
Dec 11 14:16:16  dhclient: No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.


Is there something else I need to do to enable the card?

Thanks.
