You are incorrect.  Sun's *trunking* software is not really *trunking*,
 it is ETHERCHANNEL.  It it taking multiple pipes and making them into
 one.. that is not TRUE TRUNKING...

Supposedly the NEW Sun gigabit card supports 802.1q... but it is gigabit
 over copper.  Sun's NEW gigabit over fiber (which supposedly supports
 802.1q) isn't supposed to be shipped until July.

IntraServer/LSI Logic which bought Alteon does have a gigabit card which
 does fiber, but their drivers have some bugs... you have to be careful
 which switches you connect it to.
