Re: Adding new ethernet card to Sun20

I assume you already did a "touch /reconfigure" and then rebooted or a "boot -r" from the "ok" prompt?

Sounds to me like it is not being probed by a proper driver. Try doing:

ifconfig -a

If you don't see eth2, it isn't initialized by the kernel.

Try looking at "dmesg | less" for signs of a problem. Also, at the OBP
prompt do "probe-sbus-all" to make sure it is being detected.
