 Hi,
 
 I still have the following problem:
 
 I am trying to install a DEC Fast EtherWORKS PCI 10/100.
         System: DEC Alpha 500/333.
         Operating Sys: OSF1 V4.0b (revision 564)
         Firmware: 6.4
 
 I have physically installed the card. 'show config' recognizes both net
 cards, the original at:
         BUS 00 slot 06: DECchip 21040 Network controller ewa0.0.0.6.0
 and the new one at:
         BUS 00 slot 12: DE500-BA Network controller ewb.0.0.0.12.0
 
 The card, lights-up the '100 Mb/s orange LED' and the 'Link status LED'
 blinks - as if it has traffic. But no net activity on the machine...
 
 I have correctly performed the kernel rebuild procedure, (I know I did
 it right, because I also added a second SCSI controller at the same
 time and the system picked it up immediately) but the DE500-BA was not
 detected and nowhere to be found in the temprary kernel. Upon boot-up
 no indication of a 'tu1'. Only 'tu0' appears.
 
 Has anyone seen this? Is there a patch or a firmware upgrade I need to
 do to get the card to be recognized by genvmunix? Should I just
 manually add the entry:
         controller tu1 at pci0 slot 12
 
 in the kernel (/sys/conf/<SYSNAME) and rebuild?
 
 Following I have included my kernel file section. Any help will be
 appreciated. I will summarize.
 
 Thanks!
