[geeks] sbus ethernet cards

[Michael Schiller]

Eric:

The Fast ethernet 1.0/2.0 card isn't supported by Sol8, nor is the FDDI
1.0/2.0 card. Having said that, I have an LX (sun4m) machine with a
1.0/2.0 FDDI card in it, originally I was running 2.6 with it (which
supposedly also isn't supported) fine, and when I upgraded the machine
to Sol8 I figured I would have to replace the bf card, but it still
works fine! Go figure.
