Hi folks,

I'm trying to get my SMC card working.  In the INSTALL file, it says
that the kernel (both install kernels) support the SMC.  Problem, when I
do anything like:

ifconfig ed2 .....

It comes back with Device not configured.  I looked at /dev and there is
no ed?  Looked at MAKEDEV, no ed?

Can someone tell me what are the major and minor for the ethernet
cards?  Kind of weird that MAKEDEV doesn't do them...

BTW, using netBSD 1.1 (yeah, a bit old but working, almost.).

Thanks,
Stephane Lajeunesse.
