Hi,

Been having issues with a gig interface under NetBSD 1.6.1 that I am 
hoping someone can help me with.

The interface is recognized by the OS as wm0 interface. I am unable to 
use wm0 for some reason. This is true for the default kernel and the 
custom kernel. The cables is a Cat 5e attached to a gig switch. Tried 
connecting it directly to another gig interface on a separate computer 
through a cross over. No luck.

Verified the cables by connecting them to an identical interface on 
Linux. No issues.

I'd be happy to provide any more information that I have missed.

Thanks a ton
Avi
