Have you tried writing a driver?

I can't into system development.
Well, if you give me a "Writing Plan 9 network drivers for dummies"
book (in russian pleeeeese ^__^), I'll try to write driver self.
But in etherbcm.c is written

Can you try to determine the pcid of your card?

This is pretty odd since I've developed etherbcm.c exactly for the
BCM5751.
And I'm using it on my X41 right now.
Any further clues? (Are you really using 9front, heh?)
VID/DID would be nice, try lspci -n | grep 40:00.0

It is 14e4:1677 if I understand lspci right.

Okay that VID/DID is not in the driver. Could you add it and recompile?
Also, come to #cat-v on freenode.

I've added, I've recompiled it, and it actually works!
Thank you.
