Onboard Ethernet should work. It is just plain NForce4 Ethernet. I haven't tested it on this mobo, but on a Tyan S2895. On this machine nve does work - as long I don't have memory beneath 4GB. I have to clip the kernel to a maximum of 4GB (via MAXMEM config variable), otherwise nve doesn't work at all. With this workaround I can usually transfer some 100 GBytes before nve problems come up again. > Not having a serial port may be a problem.

But I don't know if and how Sun customized the standard S2865 BIOS. > Since we certainly will use an other ethernet card on bus PCI, the last > point is annoying but not for the moment (we doesn't use Gig-E yet, just > 100Mbps (as with nve(4), it seems)). nve is unstable not only with GigE, but (at least for me) also with only 100Mb Daniel
