	Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone else has had any luck with this driver/Ethernet
controller combo on 10baseT/UTP media.

My experiences are as follows:

  -stable: the stock driver doesn't work, but the driver listed at
           www.3am-software.com does work _if_ I specify the media manually.

  -current: the stock driver doesn't complain about anything but doesn't work.
            ifconfig says:

de0: flags=8c43<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,OACTIVE,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 131.155.146.107 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 131.155.146.255
	ether 00:80:5a:15:e6:9b
	media: 10baseT/UTP status: active
	supported media: autoselect 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX
	10base2/BNC 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP

	    (OACTIVE looks suspicious to me here.)

	    Using this driver I can only ping the local interface, nothing
	    else.

	    The 3am-software driver gives all kinds of (non-trivial to fix)
	    compilation errors on -current and hence I am unable to build a
	    kernel containing it.

Thanks for any insights any of you may have to offer!

Cheers,
