No MAC - SiS900

First, allow me to say that I am rather new here, and if this is the
wrong group, please redirect me.
Using 6.2beta, I am unable to use my nic. Running ifconfig en0 I found
out that qnx is not getting a mac address (00:00:00…). nicinfo says
that the sis900 driver is being used, and that the physical node id is
null (00000…). What can I do about this, not knowing the true mac
address? It is a new box, on which I have no documentation.
I would get the mac using another os, but neither linux nor netbsd
supports my chipset (and in turn, nic). At least qnx recognized it…

Regards

Never dealt with this nic but try this:

slay dhcp.client
slay io-net
io-net -d sis9 mac=XXXXXXXXXXXX -p tcpip ← put any number instead of
XXXXXXXXXXXX
nicinfo

Cheers,
