I am having trouble getting NetBSD 1.4.1 to cooperate
with the second NIC in my Sparc Classic.
The onboard NIC is fine, and is detected and configured as
le0 at boot time. The second NIC is an SBUS Sun 270-1881 rev 1
which is detected and configured as le1 at boot time, but whenever
ifconfig tries to set the card up, it fails to initialize:

This NIC works fine under S/Linux and Solaris on the same machine, so I do not
suspect a general hardware problem. I have also tries OpenBSD 2.6, which
fails in
exactly the same manner as NetBSD 1.4.1 (OK, not overly surprising).
I have tried some basic trouble shooting as follows:
1. Tried the card with and without a transciever.
2. Tried two different transcievers (CentreCom 210TS, Farallon Etherwave).
3. Tried the card in a second Sparc Classic (hard drive transplant)
4. Tried the card in both SBUS slots.
5. Double and triple checked the DIP package on the card to be sure the
Ethernet/Cheapernet
12v enable/disable switched were set correctly.
Any help would be appreciated. DMESG, IFCONFIG -A and NETSTAT -RN output
follows.
