I got some replies offlist, some asking if i had seated the card

IN OBP set local mac address to true. I might have the wrong variable 
name, I am not near any sparc machine to check this, I do know that your 
two cards are trying to use the same nac address and that will be 
because OBP has used the machine's mac for the plugin card.

invalid mac address

2007-07-16 Thread Karl Goetz

hi all,
I put a Linksys PCI network card in my Sunblade 150, running etch.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ uname -a
Linux horatius 2.6.18-4-sparc64 #1 Mon Mar 26 11:16:07 UTC 2007 sparc64
GNU/Linux

When restarting the network i get this output:
SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable
Failed to bring up eth1.
done.

Does this mean this card/all pci cards are not supported on sparc64?
nics not working is a killer for me - i want this to act as a
proxy/server system for my network.

Below is ifcofig and my interfaces file.
