Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-bugs->wpaul Over to if_sis maintainer. This problem may have been fixed in 4.3-RELEASE; my first load using an ASUS CUSI-FX (SIS-630E chip set) correctly set the enet address. -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds; and the pessimist fears this is true." -- James Branch Cabell, from 'The Silver Stallion', 1926. State Changed From-To: open->feedback Can you confirm that the problem is fixed in 4.3-RELEASE, as suggested in the audit trail for this PR? Responsible Changed From-To: wpaul->mbr Taking this PR from wpaul. It seems that this has been fixed since a long time. Can you confirm that you don't encounter any problems with this card anymore ? If you still have problems, you can try this patch against FreeBSD 4.7 stable: http://people.freebsd.org/~mbr/patches/if_sis_stable.diff State Changed From-To: feedback->closed Feedback timeout. The problem has been fixed since a while. |
The SiS 900 Driver cant read the ethernet-address from the all-in-one-chipset SiS630E. Ethernet-Address will always be 0:0:0:0:0:0. Fix: No fix, only a ugly workaround. Hardwire the Ethernet-Address in sys/pci/if_sis.c: static u_char sis_macaddr[ETHER_ADDR_LEN] = { 0x00,0xe0,0x18,0x01,0x02,0x03 }; And assign that in function sis_attach below: bcopy((char *)sis_macaddr, eaddr, ETHER_ADDR_LEN); How-To-Repeat: Install FreeBSD on a ASUS CUSI-FX with integrated NIC.
