What chips are on the cards?  There are very few Ethernet chips that the
SRM console supports.  For the most part, the list is tulip (2104x,
2114x); Intel EtherExpress Pro (82557, 82558, 82559); and Broadcom 5703-
and 5704-based Gigabit Ethernet adapters.  Furthermore, most of the time
you need a Digital/Compaq/hp branded adapter for the PCI ids to be
recognized by SRM.

Sounds like a strange problem to me.  How are the adapters showing up
when you do "show dev"?  How about "show config"?
