Greetings -

I compiled a kernel from March 20th sources with the new SONIC driver.
This kernel works fine on my PB 550 (after putting in T. Hamada's patches).
On boot, the onboard ethernet _seems_ to be detected:  (selected excerpt
from dmesg)

mainbus0 (root)
obio0 at mainbus0
adb0 at obio0 (ADB event device)
asc0 at obio0: Apple Sound Chip
intvid0 at obio0: Internal Video
intvid0: 640 x 480, monochrome
grf0 at intvid0
ite0 at grf0 (minimal console)
sn0 at obio0sbc0 at obio0: options=1<PDMA>
^^^^^^^^^^^^
scsibus0 at sbc0: 8 targets
sd0 at scsibus0 targ 0 lun 0: <, , > SCSI0 0/direct fixed
sd0: 515MB, 2770 cyl, 6 head, 63 sec, 512 bytes/sec
zsc0 at obio0 chip type 0

However, no sn0 interface shows up with ifconfig -a:

ppp0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST>
ppp1: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST>
lo0: flags=8009<UP,LOOPBACK,MULTICAST>
	inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
sl0: flags=c010<POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST>


Any thoughts on this?  Is there supposed to be more device information
about sn0 in dmesg (like the hardware EA?)?  I'm pretty desperate to get
ethernet working on this machine...

Thanks,
Mark
