Correct, it's not supported. The GEM driver in FreeBSD supports the ethernet controller that's on the SunBlade-100 systems which isn't the same ethernet controller as what SUN calls the GEM interface. >From the gem(4) manual page: The gem driver provides support for the GMac Ethernet hardware found mostly in the last Apple PowerBooks G3s and most G4-based Apple hardware, as well as many Sun UltraSPARCs. -- Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith@cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel |
