The machines are connected with a standard ethernet cable (BNC). I'm using the BNC connector at the SUN, not the AUI port. When trying to configure the interface le0 on the SUN, NetBSD says that the carrier is lost. I checked the cabling and it seems ok (length is 30m, T-connectors with 50 ohm terminators at both ends). Am I using the correct interface device?
