Hi,

I've got a Sparc 10 with my fist ever NetBSD install and the interfaces
aren't behaving as I expected...

Sparc 10 has one UTP (10baseT) and one AUI (10base5) interface.  I was
expecting the UTP to be le0 and the AUI to be le1 (as Solaris), but it
complains with 'le1: lost carrier on AUI port' if I only configure le1.

Config 1)
In /etc/rc.conf, 'auto_ifconfig=NO' and 'net_interfaces=le0'
In /etc/ifconfig.le0, 'inet 192.168.4.250 netmask 255.255.255.0 media 
10base5'
Physical connection in AUI

This works: ifconfig shows le0 configured and it talks happily through
the AUI interface.  But the Solaris bit of me says that shouldn't work
cos the AUI is le1

Config 2)
In /etc/rc.conf, 'auto_ifconfig=NO' and 'net_interfaces=le1'
In /etc/ifconfig.le1, 'inet 192.168.4.250 netmask 255.255.255.0 media 
10base5'
Physical connection in AUI

This fails: ifconfig shows le1 configured but attempting to use it gives
'le1: lost carrier on AUI port'

This will end up as a firewall box and I want to know the logical
interfaces match with the physical interfaces.

Yup - I'm confused :-)

thanks
