I suspect this is probably more the fault of my Mac than my FreeBSD box,
but here we go:
FreeBSD-current (960801-SNAP), 486DX50, 8mb, with an NE2000 compatable
ethernet card (Kingston, i think.. something generic that someone left
around. :-)
The machine is on an ethernet with a Macintosh. If I boot the FreeBSD machine
while the Macintosh is on, it comes up and is unable to recognize the
ethernet card's MAC address (no pun intended). If booted without the
Mac on, it works well.
If I later turn the Mac on, the FreeBSD box and the mac will talk
ever so happily.
Anyone have a suggestion about what's doing this one? Hardware flukes
with one or the other?
