Message-ID: <4bbdcaa57e1fcac3cb4f2caf73d2e468@caldo.demon.co.uk> (raw)
not having the driver configured would indeed stop it from being recognised!
i'd forgotten it wasn't in by default.
as to the ethernet address:
i've got the spec for the chip but that doesn't always help with the eeprom
bits, which vary a bit. that's why i implemented only the variant i could test,
although i knew there was another for SiS900.
perhaps they've changed the FA312 since i last bought it. i'll get another
shortly to see. meanwhile, you could try the method suggested
by plan9.ini(8) for the SiS:
83815
National Semiconductor DP83815-based adapters, notably
the Netgear FA311, Netgear FA312, and various SiS
built-in controllers such as the SiS900. On the SiS
controllers, the ethernet address is not detected prop-
erly; specify it with an ea= attribute.
