>Description:
I acquired a Cabletron EA419 SCSI to Ethernet adapter and was able to get it to connect to the network during netbsd installation on my Atari TT030.  I can ping 1.1.1.1 and at least connect to servers via FTP.  However when I attempt to actually pull down sets during an install, either via HTTP or FTP, it's unsuccessful.  Sysinst hangs, though it's not a full kernel panic.
>How-To-Repeat:
1.  Connect a Cabletron EA419 to your SCSI bus, making sure to configure termination properly.
2.  Try to install NetBSD 9.2 via HTTP or FTP.
Observe the system hangs when sets start to download.
This occurs on my Atari TT030 system, and I suspect it will also be the case on other systems where the EA419 is used.

 I have one of these adapters and I made some changes in 2020 that make it
 work again for me (I was testing on a single CPU sparc32 system).  See:

   http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/scsipi/if_se.c?only_with_tag=MAIN

 revisions 1.105, 1.106, 1.107, 1.111.  However, I didn't test these changes
 with a netbsd-9.x system.

 Would you be able to try a current kernel/installation?

 Regards,

 Julian

 Hi Julian,

 My testing was conducted on a 9.2 system.  So I think it would have
 these changes (?) but if not let me know and I can try a different
 build.
