The hme (= Fast Ethernet 2.0 or 2.1) is not supported on sun4c.
there are only drivers for SunOS 4 on sun4m.

The older be (= Fast Ethernet 1.0) I think has a sun4c driver for
Solaris 2 (up to 2.6b&) available. I am not sure if there is a driver
for SunOS 4 on sun4c though.

In any way, an IPX is probably too slow to do much with 100Mbit
Ethernet. I remember people running these with NetBSD back in
the days and I was told that it barely made a difference.
