Hi all,

I just got a new PowerEdge 600SC from Dell and was hoping to run a production
NetBSD on it.  However, this seems undoable at the moment: NetBSD doesn't seem
to want to support the onboard Intel gigabit ethernet.  I get:

Intel product 0x100e (ethernet network, revision 0x02) at pci0 dev 2 function 0
not configured

The docs on the web page mention that Intel gigabit adapters are supported, so
is there something I'm overlooking?  I made a custom kernel for the machine but
made sure that the "wm" driver was enabled.

Also, IDE support is limited to only PIO modes.  The kernel says:

pciide0 at pci0 dev 15 function 1: ServerWorks product 0x0213 (rev 0xa0)
pciide0: bus-master DMA support present, but unused (no driver support)

This is a ServerWorks Grand Champion SL chipset.  Obviously this doesn't render
the machine unusable, as does the ethernet problem, but is annoying nonetheless.

On the plus side, everything else seems to work just fine except the onboard
LM81 hardware sensor (no driver).  I haven't yet tried the 3rd onboard IDE
channel to see if drives are detected there correctly.

If I'm doing everything correctly with the ethernet adapter, I'm looking for one
of two answers: either go with another OS for now, or wait for 1.6.1.  I don't
want to run any sort of -current on it, as I'm looking for a rock-solid
machine.  However if 1.6.1 can solve the ethernet problem, I can wait a little
bit until it gets released.  Thanks in advance for any help anyone may be able
to provide.
