Starting out with Mesa 7i76e, what do I need for "uspace"?

Ahhh..... sorry for answering my own question (again), but I should have kept working on it before asking the proceeding.

Turns out you need to supply an IP address, even though it's at the default. C'mon software developers... this one's a no-brainer. You shouldn't need to supply a default.

But alas I saw a bunch of stuff fly by on the terminal and now I see pins and such. All is well so far.

I think its possible to do this but it needs a probe routine with error messages muted,
and only "found such-and-such at someplace" messages enabled

Ah, yes, but how does it know how many boards lo look for?

Touché. I wasn't thinking about multiple cards. I was thinking "why the hell isn't this working?".

Upon re-reading the man page, I think it was my own misunderstanding of the language there. I saw "default' for IP address and figured I wouldn't need to supply it. Hence my mild venting in a moment of frustration.

In hindsight once I sorted out a few hiccups here and there it does work very nicely. This is the first card I've worked with that has an ethernet interface and so far I'd go this route again. I hope I don't have to eat those words...
