There is no line ending with sungem in the above file. ---- /proc/bus/pci # cat devices | grep sun /proc/bus/pci # ---- and this although sungem is loaded as a module: ---- /proc/bus/pci # lsmod | grep sun sungem 37124 0 crc32 5120 1 sungem sungem_phy 10496 1 sungem ---- I've looked up the PCI device number (106b:0051), and it corresponds to the Shasta (Sun GEM) Ethernet Controller of Apple [1,2,3]. According to Benjamin Herrenschmidt, the kernel is missing the proper PCI ID for this particular chip (because it is quite recent). There are a few patches around [4] that I plan to try to build a kernel that will work on my machine. Apparently it has a similar chipset at the new iMac G5, so the same patches should apply.
