Is this a configuration issue or >something else? No, it's a bug which has been fixed in the CVS tree but not yet released. From the LOG entries after 5.0.6: + Michael Rendell sent in patches for 3c90x.c to get the MAC address from location 10 of the EEPROM onwards, like the Linux driver does. Some 905s have the MAC address at both 0 and 10 which is why it worked for some boards. You can get the fixed version from the CVS tree, follow the browse CVS link from the project page. |
