ppc/3077: MAC address swapping with dc(4) on macppc
Note: There was a bad value `non-criticaln' for the field `>Severity:'.
It was set to the default value of `serious'.

>Environment:
System : OpenBSD 3.2
Architecture: OpenBSD.powerpc
Machine : macppc
>Description:
I have a Digital DE500 (dc(4)) in my B&W G3. I noticed today that
the MAC address is not reported correctly under OpenBSD/macppc.
The MAC address as listed in various places (including an alpha
that had the card in it before):
printed on the card: 08002bc34a5d
Mac OS X:
DEC21x4: Ethernet address 08:00:2b:c3:4a:5d
OpenBSD/macppc:
dc0 at pci1 dev 3 function 0 "DEC 21142/3" rev 0x30: irq 24 address 00:08:c3:2b:5d:4a
dcphy0 at dc0 phy 31: internal PHY
OpenBSD/alpha:
dc0 at pci0 dev 6 function 0 "DEC 21142/3" rev 0x30: eb164 irq 0 address 08:00:2b:c3:4a:5d
dcphy0 at dc0 phy 31: internal PHY
As you can see the fields on the OpenBSD/macppc are swapped:
08:00:2b:c3:4a:5d vs. 00:08:c3:2b:5d:4a
>How-To-Repeat:
Install a dc(4) (all? not sure) into a macppc. boot.
>Fix:
unknown to me at this point.
