Subject: ifconfig/le0/TP/AUI problem on SS10 with NetBSD 1.2 miniroot

Hi all,
I got a little problem with miniroot 1.2 on a sparcstation 10.
When I try to do a ifconfig on le0 I got this:

# ifconfig le0 192.93.214.27 link0
le0: card failed to initialize
Lance DMA error, see your doctor!
ledma0: error: csr=a0400012<ERR,IEN>
#

This keeps happening whatever combinaison of AUI/TP, link0/-link0 
I use. If SunOS miniroot's ifconfig wasn't working I would start
to think this LANCE is dead... Prom's 'test net' even reports  success.

Can someone give me any hints ?

Cheers, Stoned.
PS/ install scripts' ifconfig commands generate the same errors.

rePS/ If this can help, here is what miniroot's kernel tell about le0

ledma0 at sbus0 slot 15 offset 0x400010: rev 2
le0 at ledma0 slot 0xf offset 0xc00000 pri 6: address 08:00:20:19:87:c4
le0: 8 receive buffers, 2 transmit buffers
