O.K. If it identifies itself as "be0", then it is not the same
card which I have been using, so I don't know. Mine shows up in dmesg as:

And is either a 501-4302 or a 501-4837/501-5443. I can't tell
you which without bringing the system down and removing the card to read
its barcode at this point -- and since it is serving in a firewall, I
would rather not do that. There are similar ones with a single
interface instead of the four-holer which I am using, and I am using
some of these in other systems (SS-5 and SS-20), but all of those are
running some form of Solaris, not OpenBSD.

What card identifies itself as a "be0"? Can you point to the
page in Sun's FEH (Field Engineer's Handbook)? At least with it moving
from a SS-5 to an Ultra-1, it should be an Sbus card. But I didn't know
that there was another 100BaseT/10BaseT card in their line.

Since you are apparently talking about a different card from the
one which I am using, I guess that I can't be any help.

Best of luck,
DoN.
