Hi there,

I have a Kingston 10/100 PCI enet card in my Asus T2P4.

Normally it probes like:

de0 <Digital 21140A Fast Ethernet> rev 34 int a irq 14 on pci0:9:0
de0: 21140A [10-100Mb/s] pass 2.2
de0: address 00:c0:f0:30:41:fb

But sometimes:

Sep 23 19:33:26 yedi /kernel: de0 <Digital 21140A Fast Ethernet> rev 34 int
a ir
q 14 on pci0:9:0
Sep 23 19:33:26 yedi /kernel: de0: can't find phy 0 
Sep 23 19:33:26 yedi /kernel: de0: can't read ENET ROM (why=-4)
(462601000000000
000000000000000006b00030100c0f03041fb001e00000008 
Sep 23 19:33:26 yedi /kernel: de0: 21140A [10-100Mb/s] pass 2.2
Sep 23 19:33:26 yedi /kernel: de0: address unknown

So, from looking in the driver I learned two things:

- detecting/reading the MAC address is a black art (the driver
comments are pretty clear ;-)
- maybe somebody already fixed this problem.

This is 2.2.6R by the way.
