I have a SPARCstation 1 with a Sun S-Bus ethernet card in it, thus giving
me two ethernet connections.  Unfortunately, I can't get the second/added
ethernet controller to talk to the attached net.

I'd be happy to RTFM, except Sun provided absolutely no documentation with
the board when they sent it to us.  Requests for same seem to have fallen
in a black hole.

I'm reasonably conversant in the software side of things needed to get the
kernel and net daemons to recognize the second device's existence.
However, since the SPARCstation uses a somewhat different config file, and
I'm fallible, maybe I'm missing something there, too.

Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.  Email is fine, and I'll
summarize if there is interest.
