Default Issues with cas* driver

I'm relatively new to the OpenBSD scene, so here it goes:

I have a pair of Sun Cassini Quad Port Gigabit adapters in an x86 box. The issue is the MAC address seems to disappear in OpenBSD. I never had this issue with FreeBSD or Gentoo.

Here's a snippit:
Code:
ppb0 at pci1 dev 2 function 0 "Intel 21154AE/BE PCI-PCI" rev 0x00
pci2 at ppb0 bus 8
ppb1 at pci2 dev 0 function 0 "Intel 21154AE/BE PCI-PCI" rev 0x00
pci3 at ppb1 bus 10
cas0 at pci3 dev 0 function 0 "NS Saturn" rev 0x30: apic 5 int 5, address 00:00:00:00:00:00
gentbi0 at cas0 phy 0: Generic ten-bit interface, rev. 0
cas1 at pci3 dev 1 function 0 "NS Saturn" rev 0x30: apic 5 int 15, address 00:00:00:00:00:00
gentbi1 at cas1 phy 0: Generic ten-bit interface, rev. 0
ppb2 at pci2 dev 4 function 0 "Intel 21154AE/BE PCI-PCI" rev 0x00
pci4 at ppb2 bus 9
cas2 at pci4 dev 2 function 0 "NS Saturn" rev 0x30: apic 5 int 13, address 00:00:00:00:00:00
gentbi2 at cas2 phy 0: Generic ten-bit interface, rev. 0
cas3 at pci4 dev 3 function 0 "NS Saturn" rev 0x30: apic 5 int 14, address 00:00:00:00:00:00
gentbi3 at cas3 phy 0: Generic ten-bit interface, rev. 0
ppb3 at pci1 dev 3 function 0 "Intel 21154AE/BE PCI-PCI" rev 0x00
pci5 at ppb3 bus 5
ppb4 at pci5 dev 0 function 0 "Intel 21154AE/BE PCI-PCI" rev 0x00
pci6 at ppb4 bus 7
cas4 at pci6 dev 0 function 0 "NS Saturn" rev 0x30: apic 5 int 6, address 00:00:00:00:00:00
gentbi4 at cas4 phy 0: Generic ten-bit interface, rev. 0
cas5 at pci6 dev 1 function 0 "NS Saturn" rev 0x30: apic 5 int 14, address 00:00:00:00:00:00
gentbi5 at cas5 phy 0: Generic ten-bit interface, rev. 0
ppb5 at pci5 dev 4 function 0 "Intel 21154AE/BE PCI-PCI" rev 0x00
pci7 at ppb5 bus 6
cas6 at pci7 dev 2 function 0 "NS Saturn" rev 0x30: apic 5 int 15, address 00:00:00:00:00:00
gentbi6 at cas6 phy 0: Generic ten-bit interface, rev. 0
cas7 at pci7 dev 3 function 0 "NS Saturn" rev 0x30: apic 5 int 13, address 00:00:00:00:00:00
gentbi7 at cas7 phy 0: Generic ten-bit interface, rev. 0

Any ideas on why this is happening?

It sounds like there is an issue then with the cas(4) driver. I cannot tell from the information found in the manpage to determine if this is an unsupported revision problem or what.

My suggestion would be to submit a formal report to the project developers. The process can be found at the following:

http://www.openbsd.org/report.html

Completeness & thoroughness is cool. Developers like completeness & thoroughness.

In all seriousness, this is going to require knowledge at the source code level, & it makes sense to contact those developing the driver at this point.

Note that the problem tracking database is currently shut down. Reports created with sendbug(1) should be Emailed to the bugs@ mailing list.

Roger that. I just sent an email off to them a few minutes ago. I *REALLY* don't want to go back to Gentoo Linux on that box since I moved all but the router to FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE.

I'd put FreeBSD on that box, but the dc driver on that is messed up, too. I'll post another question on that in the proper forum later. I wanted to try out OpenBSD anyway since it is a router.

Yes, and I see you already have a response with a patch, which reverts a two year old commit. Hope that works for you!

Well, that worked partway. Now each card shares a single MAC address across its' 4 ports.

Example:
Code:
pci1 at pchb1 bus 4
ppb0 at pci1 dev 2 function 0 "Intel 21154AE/BE PCI-PCI" rev 0x00
pci2 at ppb0 bus 8
ppb1 at pci2 dev 0 function 0 "Intel 21154AE/BE PCI-PCI" rev 0x00
pci3 at ppb1 bus 10
cas0 at pci3 dev 0 function 0 "NS Saturn" rev 0x30: apic 5 int 5, address 00:03:ba:da:fa:6a
gentbi0 at cas0 phy 0: Generic ten-bit interface, rev. 0
cas1 at pci3 dev 1 function 0 "NS Saturn" rev 0x30: apic 5 int 15, address 00:03:ba:da:fa:6a
gentbi1 at cas1 phy 0: Generic ten-bit interface, rev. 0
ppb2 at pci2 dev 4 function 0 "Intel 21154AE/BE PCI-PCI" rev 0x00
pci4 at ppb2 bus 9
cas2 at pci4 dev 2 function 0 "NS Saturn" rev 0x30: apic 5 int 13, address 00:03:ba:da:fa:6a
gentbi2 at cas2 phy 0: Generic ten-bit interface, rev. 0
cas3 at pci4 dev 3 function 0 "NS Saturn" rev 0x30: apic 5 int 14, address 00:03:ba:da:fa:6a
gentbi3 at cas3 phy 0: Generic ten-bit interface, rev. 0
ppb3 at pci1 dev 3 function 0 "Intel 21154AE/BE PCI-PCI" rev 0x00
pci5 at ppb3 bus 5
ppb4 at pci5 dev 0 function 0 "Intel 21154AE/BE PCI-PCI" rev 0x00
pci6 at ppb4 bus 7
cas4 at pci6 dev 0 function 0 "NS Saturn" rev 0x30: apic 5 int 6, address 00:03:ba:95:80:e9
gentbi4 at cas4 phy 0: Generic ten-bit interface, rev. 0
cas5 at pci6 dev 1 function 0 "NS Saturn" rev 0x30: apic 5 int 14, address 00:03:ba:95:80:e9
gentbi5 at cas5 phy 0: Generic ten-bit interface, rev. 0
ppb5 at pci5 dev 4 function 0 "Intel 21154AE/BE PCI-PCI" rev 0x00
pci7 at ppb5 bus 6
cas6 at pci7 dev 2 function 0 "NS Saturn" rev 0x30: apic 5 int 15, address 00:03:ba:95:80:e9
gentbi6 at cas6 phy 0: Generic ten-bit interface, rev. 0
cas7 at pci7 dev 3 function 0 "NS Saturn" rev 0x30: apic 5 int 13, address 00:03:ba:95:80:e9

Just as a quick fix, can I just manually enter the MAC addresses? I need to get this system back up soon.

You can set MAC addresses with ifconfig(8) and its lladdr operand. Whether or not this will work in this situation must be tested.
