Greetings, I=E2=80=99ve a working POWER 7 box over here I=E2=80=99d like to either t= ry running =46reeBSD on bare metal or in an LPAR. Does anyone have any ex= perience doing this and can suggest some tips=3F I=E2=80=99m aware this p= latform is neglected with these kinds of machines, and I=E2=80=99d like t= o change that. If I can get it warning, by all means unless I sell it I=E2= =80=99d like to have developers who want access to it be allowed in - It = isn=E2=80=99t a Talos, but it=E2=80=99s what I could get for free=21 P.S. I=E2=80=99ve signed up for the list but have not gotten confirmation= yet, so to ensure I get this please CC me if you are responding to this=21 From owner-freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org Thu Oct 4 02:02:54 2018 Return-Path: <owner-freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org> Delivered-To: freebsd-ppc@mailman.ysv.freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2610:1c1:1:606c::19:1]) by mailman.ysv.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id F1E5A10B7C35 for <freebsd-ppc@mailman.ysv.freebsd.org>; Thu, 4 Oct 2018 02:02:53 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from marklmi@yahoo.com) Received: from sonic309-22.consmr.mail.ne1.yahoo.com (sonic309-22.consmr.mail.ne1.yahoo.com [66.163.184.148]) (using TLSv1.2 with cipher ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 (128/128 bits)) (Client did not present a certificate) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTPS id 8F4FD7BDA2 for <freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org>; Thu, 4 Oct 2018 02:02:53 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from marklmi@yahoo.com) X-YMail-OSG: xoJLTVkVM1nDRwxFd7ZTp3HJ7iUx9U_SC4Gccr2Qhu8cN.wI.FQaJ0RenN6no9E uFIHhBsXPVScPFoUxqiJmNr5HlnYon8yL1zqAM5FLpJ5rrWdZWdMdVs5FsYFNIVBTrS.NrBGpP1d TSUDGxUX0QiUWzjSqmQCO2HOYYdhGiSU7_zWvuLMFiNth_YXZkQoE18MUMYYRnAOm1jZNos8Fwuo TL.Ly_TPgQlap3dy6COvPHYPI9rQDSVTKKWgbA8rbrRq22tQ3faUIiU.UyPRdohU9.mW4NCy.M1n lR4yq_a.hPmBI2NaW4wZU5tD5.Kx7r7lY6UNhcyT0FVt9HE.01cVM7h00W3Dzyh_paPokayAIvRX JUut2ar1xojQXDa2_i35EW8uWodD59dpL5gUOR5FhA3Se0pojxibxyin_UnzobUNmlOrW7x36Q03 1HhsCjYmmKMJnqHwK24KMbgdgmZUBv1SsExHqhEfodIGa27Ce4dc0wCqj34t.T8_X91D8xTGbnNt tFsesg2zxR_ZN2KCZH6BJv.fvdDJxh.8Gf3WgkE71bIhhXqVQIomgLvRmorqJI1zNKOoU71wOpsx 5WEnd8qWCckxGNrXcG9oqSE_6EQUe5VrOVZZ9MuDbp2cKAkA9tkFLOyf.JikCuzodgaNLK0dml5Y RJo3tjVJsw3PFbglunasF9Q.zTPISLqR6ko0TRsaa42PlFjN8rdNKEa.Y3d0S7vH4RSJzMARxbjS D3wfMT4YbgxXf9RX1QBHZjh1QCvqU6TDFJUzgQPg.FGjGxwjOBSez205xLqmfSAEJ7YnAxcsnja3 SXd4sKIUo74AJ.XD1HV94M3IgoLi9mRoQoPEgYu1hkHctRuWEj6M8Co1ZECqGAQudogw.dbTqSv1 B9tHECHuLpdVgKwux8YdOwW7WSNV8pjOIgrHqY6QHAXWjFQbqvTSuYT7aPOCpQxDM6MYH3BLXnOT ODNdl59c.HfzNmUKLJ6jxqXdkqwo6K7DSbKx_Sj4wJWK3ipBrGYp8NEcISE.B0qPmNo8P0OmErin 0rycmCZzgpSzLgzFZ22V1.uPY9qrpzB.x Received: from sonic.gate.mail.ne1.yahoo.com by sonic309.consmr.mail.ne1.yahoo.com with HTTP; Thu, 4 Oct 2018 02:02:46 +0000 Received: from c-76-115-7-162.hsd1.or.comcast.net (EHLO [192.168.1.101]) ([76.115.7.162]) by smtp417.mail.ne1.yahoo.com (Oath Hermes SMTP Server) with ESMTPA ID dd21f0b530123fca2c83e155cb3d9a39 for <freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org>; Thu, 04 Oct 2018 02:02:42 +0000 (UTC) From: Mark Millard <marklmi@yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Mime-Version: 1.0 (Mac OS X Mail 11.5 \(3445.9.1\)) Subject: Re: FCP-0101: Deprecating most 10/100 Ethernet drivers Date: Wed, 3 Oct 2018 19:02:41 -0700 References: <93B37DB3-331A-4C94-BF1E-BFDC5D066A53@yahoo.com> To: FreeBSD PowerPC ML <freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org> In-Reply-To: <93B37DB3-331A-4C94-BF1E-BFDC5D066A53@yahoo.com> Message-Id: <E1FC10C4-C921-4095-8C0B-0DCA1EE75DC5@yahoo.com> X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.3445.9.1) X-BeenThere: freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.27 Precedence: list List-Id: Porting FreeBSD to the PowerPC <freebsd-ppc.freebsd.org> List-Unsubscribe: <https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-ppc>, <mailto:freebsd-ppc-request@freebsd.org?subject=unsubscribe> List-Archive: <http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ppc/>; List-Post: <mailto:freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org> List-Help: <mailto:freebsd-ppc-request@freebsd.org?subject=help> List-Subscribe: <https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ppc>, <mailto:freebsd-ppc-request@freebsd.org?subject=subscribe> X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 04 Oct 2018 02:02:54 -0000 On 2018-Oct-3, at 6:27 PM, Mark Millard <marklmi@yahoo.com> wrote: > https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-arch/2018-October/019167.html > > talks about removing 10Mbit/100Mbit ethernet drivers.

I was wrong about the G5's: 3 early iMac G5 models do not have 1Gbit Ethernet. https://everymac.com/systems/by_capability/macs-with-ethernet.html lists by "Ethernet Capabilities" (actually sub-sorted by the capability). The list shows about 112 models with built-in Ethernet but without 1Gbit Ethernet. All are PowerPC based. === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar)
