An Ultra 2 with 2Gb of RAM and 2 300Mhz processors, a qfe card, an
CDROM drive and 2 9Gb scsi drives.
>Description:
The install for 6.1-RC1 brought up the network on hme1 just fine.
After a reboot all the 5 (built-in hme0, + a quad-fast card) hme
interfaces showed a mac address of ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, which of
course wouldn't talk.
I used ifconfig to set a valid mac address on hme1 and it started
working. I could help debug this, as needed.
This is sample of an untouched interface:
mirror# ifconfig hme2
hme2: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
options=b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU>
ether ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
media: Ethernet autoselect
The probe looks like this:

>How-To-Repeat:
I just installed from the CDROM pair, then rebooted.
Noticed that the network didn't come back up. I don't
have a graphic head on the Ultra 2, just a serial line
and tip from another host. I don't know if the qfe card
is the key issue (yet).
>Fix:
I just worked around it.
