You appear to be correct, the patch doesn't seem to help my machine.
The 'sip0' is probe ok, but when I specify it as the root device (or boot
sysinst and use ifconfig) it reports the following:
sip0: master abort 
... (repeatedly)
sip0: transmit FIFO underrun; increasing Tx .... (flashes by too fast)

Apparently something is working though, as 'netstat -in' reports input
and output packets.  Also, tcpdump -i sip0 (when booted via NFS on aue0)
sees some broadcasts on the network.  I was able to use dhclient to get
a lease after several timeouts, etc.  Unfortunately sip0 doesn't appear
to be receiving very many packets, and perhaps not transmitting them as
arp requests don't complete on the NIC or on the server.

So at this point I am at a loss.

Thanks for your help.
