Hi, I tested sk(4), nge(4), ti(4), and lge(4) cards on my sparc64 box. Unfortunately, they all need work before they'll work on sparc64. However, bge(4) should work as wpaul@ converted it to use the busdma(9) portable kernel bus memory mapping API. I have not personally tried putting my bge card into the sparc, though. The GA302T is listed as supported in the bge(4) man page so my guess is it would work with that.
