>Description:
Syskonnect SK9843SX (Gigabit Ethernetnet NIC with optical MI) is not initialized by FreeBSD 5.0.
FreeBSD 4.7 and 4.8 works without any problems with that card (same hardware). Bug seems to be
introduced with 5.0.
To repeat that, I used out-of-the-box FreeBSD 5.0 kernel.

>How-To-Repeat:
Insert SK9843SX in a 64Bit slot (Tyan Thunder 2500 has 64bit slots, only)
ifconfig sk0 <ip> netmask <mask>
see console output for details.
