 Hi David,
 
 > I acquired a Cabletron EA419 SCSI to Ethernet adapter and was able to get it to connect to the network during netbsd installation on my Atari TT030.  I can ping 1.1.1.1 and at least connect to servers via FTP.  However when I attempt to actually pull down sets during an install, either via HTTP or FTP, it's unsuccessful.  Sysinst hangs, though it's not a full kernel panic.

 I have one of these adapters and I made some changes in 2020 that make it
 work again for me (I was testing on a single CPU sparc32 system).  See:
 
   http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/scsipi/if_se.c?only_with_tag=MAIN
 
 revisions 1.105, 1.106, 1.107, 1.111.  However, I didn't test these changes
 with a netbsd-9.x system.
 
 Would you be able to try a current kernel/installation?
 
 Regards,
 
 Julian
