FreeBSD ***** 4.1.1-STABLE FreeBSD 4.1.1-STABLE #0: Thu Sep 28 18:03:48 CEST 2000     ***@******:/mnt/install/src/sys/compile/kernel  i386

>Description:
The SiS 900 Driver cant read the ethernet-address
from the all-in-one-chipset SiS630E.
Ethernet-Address will always be 0:0:0:0:0:0.

>How-To-Repeat:
Install FreeBSD on a ASUS CUSI-FX with integrated NIC.

>Fix:
No fix, only a ugly workaround.

Hardwire the Ethernet-Address in sys/pci/if_sis.c:

static u_char sis_macaddr[ETHER_ADDR_LEN] = { 0x00,0xe0,0x18,0x01,0x02,0x03 };

And assign that in function sis_attach below:

bcopy((char *)sis_macaddr, eaddr, ETHER_ADDR_LEN);

 This problem may have been fixed in 4.3-RELEASE; my first
 load using an ASUS CUSI-FX (SIS-630E chip set) correctly set
 the enet address.

Taking this PR from wpaul. It seems that this has been fixed
