[9fans] etheresis driver

I was trying to compile a new kernel that included the ethersis[1] driver,
but I come across the following error when running `mk 'CONF=pcf'`

	8c -FTVw ethersis.c
	ethersis.c:118 external redeclaration of: Sse
		GLOBL ENUM ethersis.c:118
		GLOBL ENUM <eof>
	mk: 8c -FTVw ethersis.c  : exit status=rc 3504: 8c 3506: error

I did some grepping in /sys/src/9/pc and found out that dat.h declares
Sse first.  Anyone know a workaround? My config for the kernel is the
normal pcf config, with the following change:

	% 9 diff -c pcf pcfn 
	pcf:65,70 - pcfn:65,72
		ethersink
		ethersmc	devi82365 cis
		etherwavelan	wavelan devi82365 cis pci
	+ # sis 900
	+ 	ethersis	pci
		ethermedium
		pcmciamodem
		netdevmedium

doesn't ether83815.c work?

It doesn't seem to be working with my laptop. I've tried your advice from the
``native install'' thread, but was never able to get it to work. I probably
missed something. I'll test the 83815 driver again tomorrow.

if i had to guess, i'd imagine that the problem is in talking
to the eeprom.  do you have any additional information on
the chip you have?  for example, pci output or
output from /dev/kmesg on boot?  pngs are fine.

looks like you may have an unsupported phy.  there seem
to be many options.  (internal vs. external, etc.)  if that's
the case, neither ethersis or ether83815 support the phy you've
got.

That would suck.

otoh, according to /lib/oui (and if I remember what you said before correctly),
the ethernet address is 00e006 (00e006 silicon integrated sys. corp.). iirc,
ea is supposed to be in the form 112233445566, so would I have in plan9.ini
	ea=0000ee000066
?

/lib/oui is a list of prefixes.  so the owner of that prefix may
assign any 00e006xxyyzz address.  is you card getting an address
from eeprom?  if so, what is it?  you may need to add some
prints to get it, since reset isn't completing successfully.
