Hi all,

I couldn't find the text for Sun Bug 1228213 (which relates to 
HappyMealEthernet hardware on SS2), but I did turn up the matching Sun 
Bug for HME on IPX (below). Note that this was reported on an IPX with 
OBP 2.3, later OBP *might* be better. Note also that this is *not* a 
SunOS/Solaris driver-related issue, it is wholly either an OBP or 
hardware limitation.

==========================================================================================
 B Bug Id: 1228844
 B Category: fast_enet
 B Subcategory: hardware
 B State: closed
 B Synopsis: Can't boot via hme interface on ipx, also can't configure 
hme interface on ipx.
 B Description:

Can't do a boot via the hme interface on an ipx and On an allready 
installed system can't
configure th ehme interface. The same problem exists on an ss2 (see bug 
1228213).
