Please people, ALWAYS send full dmesg output, not "relevant bits."

Welcome to the world of Sun. Most sbus ethernet cards do not have
unique MAC addresses, instead they use a single MAC address for the
-machine- (based on interpretation of the early ethernet stuff). This
is not a problem as long as they are on seperate segments.

Dunno what that is.

Ah, this is a different problem that what I fixed, I believe. (Although
this card does need the updates in current because it's an 'le' without
a 'ledma' or 'lebuffer' in the middle). There are no
"failure to initialize" messages in dmesg are there?
