Hi - I have an UltraSPARC 5 running debian (potato). Everything runs very well except when I insert a second Ethernet Card. The built-in HME card is recognized and configured properly by the kernel. The problem occurs when I add the second hme card. The kernel assignes the first card's MAC addr to both cards. At that point, all networking fails.
I understand that when loading the sunhme module, the kernel may retrieve the MAC addr from openboot. Openboot seems to only know the addr for the primary (built-in) card. Has anyone else experienced this? Did I miss a line on the webpage that describes how to get around this? Thanks much, Dennis Keller
