Subject:   Does SMC9332BDT work in 2.2.2R??
Message-ID:  <19970607104634.19370@luke.pmr.com>

I am trying to install some SMC9332BDT ethernet cards in some of
my systems here with no success.  Upon booting the system with the
card installed, initially the lights on the card come on (and flash)
and the light on the hub lights.  Once the card is detected during
the boot probe all lights go off (no unusual messages are displayed,
everything looks ok in the messages, see below) and as the boot-up
progresses its obvious the network is not up (all network related
daemons hang) and I never get to a login prompt (at least not within
the 5-10 minutes I've waited).

Does anybody have any suggestions/help?  It looks like (from the
cvs log for if_de.c) that the driver in 2.2.2R should support this
card (using the 21140A chip) but I am not having much luck.

Boot messages for de0 are:

Jun  7 09:47:16 luke /kernel: de0 <Digital 21140A Fast Ethernet> rev 32 int a irq 9 on pci0:9
Jun  7 09:47:16 luke /kernel: de0: 21140A [10-100Mb/s] pass 2.0
