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 04000-0x8c05fff,0x8c06000-0x8c07fff,0x8c07000-0x8c0701f irq 2017 on sbus0 miibus0: <MII bus> on hme0 nsphy0: <DP83840 10/100 media interface> on miibus0 nsphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto hme0: Ethernet address: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff sbus0: <SUNW,bpp> mem 0xc800000-0xc80001b irq 2018 type unknown (no driver attac hed) hme1: <Sun HME 10/100 Ethernet> mem 0x8c00000-0x8c00107,0x8c02000-0x8c03fff,0x8c 04000-0x8c05fff,0x8c06000-0x8c07fff,0x8c07000-0x8c0701f irq 2004 on sbus0 miibus1: <MII bus> on hme1 qsphy0: <QS6612 10/100 media interface> on miibus1 qsphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto hme1: Ethernet address: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff hme2: <Sun HME 10/100 Ethernet> mem 0x8c10000-0x8c10107,0x8c12000-0x8c13fff,0x8c 14000-0x8c15fff,0x8c16000-0x8c17fff,0x8c17000-0x8c1701f irq 2004 on sbus0 miibus2: <MII bus> on hme2 qsphy1: <QS6612 10/100 media interface> on miibus2 qsphy1: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto hme2: Ethernet address: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff hme3: <Sun HME 10/100 Ethernet> mem 0x8c20000-0x8c20107,0x8c22000-0x8c23fff,0x8c 24000-0x8c25fff,0x8c26000-0x8c27fff,0x8c27000-0x8c2701f irq 2004 on sbus0 miibus3: <MII bus> on hme3 qsphy2: <QS6612 10/100 media interface> on miibus3 qsphy2: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto hme3: Ethernet address: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff hme4: <Sun HME 10/100 Ethernet> mem 0x8c30000-0x8c30107,0x8c32000-0x8c33fff,0x8c 34000-0x8c35fff,0x8c36000-0x8c37fff,0x8c37000-0x8c3701f irq 2004 on sbus0 miibus4: <MII bus> on hme4 qsphy3: <QS6612 10/100 media interface> on miibus4 qsphy3: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto hme4: Ethernet address: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff creator0: <Creator> on nexus0 creator0: resolution 1152x900 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 bruce -- edoneel@sdf.lonestar.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
