Description K S Braunsdorf 2006-04-16 19:40:11 UTC
The install for 6.1-RC1 brought up the network on hme1 just fine.
After a reboot all the 5 (built-in hme0, + a quad-fast card) hme
interfaces showed a mac address of ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, which of
course wouldn't talk.

I used ifconfig to set a valid mac address on hme1 and it started
working.   I could help debug this, as needed.

This is sample of an untouched interface:
mirror# ifconfig hme2
hme2: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        options=b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU>
        ether ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
        media: Ethernet autoselect

The probe looks like this:
hme0: <Sun HME 10/100 Ethernet> mem 0x8c00000-0x8c00107,0x8c02000-0x8c03fff,0x8c

Fix: 

I just worked around it.
How-To-Repeat: I just installed from the CDROM pair, then rebooted.
Noticed that the network didn't come back up.  I don't
have a graphic head on the Ultra 2, just a serial line
and tip from another host.  I don't know if the qfe card
is the key issue (yet).

I think you just lost your nvram.  Look on ebay for a replacement, they 
are about $20 or so.

cheers
