  Note that the bmac ethernet driver isn't supported :( I did some work 
on this a long while back (the mii interface works fine), but it's a 
complicated beast since it relies on the general-purpose DMA engine 
provided in the parent macio ASIC.

  I did try an SMC USB ethernet part but that didn't work on first try, 
and I didn't spend much time diagnosing it.

  I'll dig up some patches.
