I have an Alphastation 255/300 running DU 4.0A with a PCI ethernet card
(DEC_450 - AUI port). The system works fine.
After the upgrade to DU 4.0D (and firmware upgrade to revision
6.9), the system shows problem with the ethernet card.

Boot message shows:
............
tu0: DECchip 21041
tu0 at pci0 slot 12
tu0: DEC TULIP Ethernet Interface,
_hardware address: 00-00-F8-30-DE-56
tu0: console mode: selecting AUI
_(10Base5) port
............
tu0: no SROM info for selected media.
............
............

The system go up fine, but is unable to connect to the network (it is
correctly configured !!).
The message "tu0: no SROM info for selected media" is continuously
repeated. The same message appears when booting from cd-rom.
Digital technical support said me that no problem are reported about
this card.

Thanks for any help.
