i need small route-server (1U rack-mount form factor).
for this i have UltraAXe motherboard.
but i need more than one ethernet cards. and more, than two :)
i 1U i can install onmy one PCI card width riser.
i have 2 strange cards:
1. dual-port card width Intel 21143 chipset.
2. four-port card width Digital 21140A chipset.
i recompile kernel width dc(4) driver and de(4) driver...
reboot, and i see:

cards really worked. i tested on i386 platform.
all ports i found in dmesg on my sparc64 and ifconfig. but... it's no worked.

dc(4) problems: 
1. if i insert patchcord to any ports - any lamps do not light.
2. strange MAC address on dc1

de(4) problems:
1. if i insert patchcord to any ports - link lamp is flashed. ~2 seconds on,
~1 second off.
2. on another server in this segment i not have ARP address.

can anybody help me?

P.S. sorry for my bad english.
