- I'm thinking of installing a third ethernet interface in our Sun 4/380
- (it has "le0" on the CPU card, and "ie1" on a VME-bus card right now).
-
- My idea was to install another "ie" (One of the old Intel Multibus
- ethernet interfaces, with a Multibus->VMEbus card) in it.
-
- Since the config file as shipped doesn't seem to support more than two
- ethernet interfaces, I've modified it to look like this:
-
- #
- # Support for the on-board LANCE Ethernet chip (Am7990) on many machines.
- #
- device le0 at obio ? csr 0xf9000000 priority 3
- #
- # Support for a second Intel Ethernet interface, using a Multibus
- # Ethernet board with a Multibus-to-VME adapter.
- #
- device ie1 at vme24d16 ? csr 0xe88000 priority 3 vector ieintr 0x75
- #
- # Support added for a third Intel Ethernet interface, using a Multibus
- # Ethernet board with a Multibus-to-VME adapter.

- #
- device ie2 at vme24d16 ? csr 0xe8c000 flags 2 priority 3 vector ieintr 0x76
- #
-
- I took the "ie2" line from our Sun2 config file and modified it slightly.
-
- Do anyone know if this works or not? Are there any gotchas one should be
- aware of?
