That's right, the lladdr of both rge0 and rge1 is 0 on boot. I think
The dhcp servers don't like that. To the same effect, I added this to
my /etc/hostname.rgeX:
lladdr random
inet autoconf
Alternatively you can give it a fixed MAC address so you'll
get the same IP lease most of the time (e.g. 'lladdr 44:ef:76:9c:03:3a')
The low performance might be because of the 816 MHz the CPUs run at.
The frequency is fixed and I haven't found a way to change it.
'apm' returns
Battery state: unknown, 0% remaining, unknown life estimate
AC adapter state: not known
Performance adjustment mode: invalid (816 MHz)
Starting apmd with "-H" flag doesn't change anything.
Probably the platform support is in early stages.
I asked about this on a...@openbsd.org.
Thanks,
