That vid/did should be supported by the (io-net) devn-ns83815.so
driver.  There should be a copy of it in your /lib/dll/ directory.

If there is not, grab an (experimental) copy from here:

  www.pittspecials.com/etc/devn-ns8315.so

and put it in your /lib/dll directory.  I really, really
hate attachments.

Then, ensure that there are no other copies of io-pkt
running:

  # pidin | grep io-pkt

If so, use the "slay" command to get rid of them, ie:

  # slay io-pkt-v4-hc

Now, wipe the sloginfo log:

  # sloginfo -c > /dev/null

And start io-pkt and the driver like this:

  # io-pkt-v4-hc -d ns83815 verbose=100

which will result in io-pkt-v4-hc loading the
"shim" driver (necessary to run io-net drivers)
and the io-net driver, devn-ns83815.so

Now you can run:

  # sloginfo

and see what the driver is saying, and

  # ifconfig -v

to see what the status of en0 is, and

  # nicinfo

to get even more driver information

Argh.  Typo in URL.  Try:
