Hello,

I've installed FreeBSD 5.0 Sparc64  on a E450 and I'm trying to use 
standard PCI ethernet cards.
According to 
http://www.freebsd.org/relnotes/CURRENT/hardware/sparc64/support.html#ETHERNET 
these cards are supposed to be supported but I can't get them to work.
I've tried  RTL8139 card with the if_rl driver and 3COM905 card with 
if_xl driver. The cards are detected by the software but they dont send 
or receive any packet. I even recompiled all the software on the box and 
the kernel. They still don't work.
This is the output of uname -a
FreeBSD freebsd.onix.ro 5.0-RELEASE-p4 FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE-p4 #0: Sat 
Jan 18 07:39:17 CET 2003     
root@freebsd.onix.ro:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CUSTOM  sparc64
Please let me know if these are are supposed to be working on sparc64 
platforms.

Thanks in advance,

Marian Dobre
