Re: on board ethernet (Sonic) on Quad's

	I have the same problem on my Quadra 610.  I got OpenBSD to work
on it just fine...which hints that there is code out there to make the
Sonic work.  Since I'm not a developer type (more of a tester/fiddler
type, really) I haven't poked around enough to find out 1) where this
code is, or 2) how to integrate it into the Debian kernel.  Being new to
the linux world, and even newer to mac 68k linux, I felt it safer to
stay out of the kernel until I know more. :-)
	For the people that know....is the code that the OpenBSD folk
are using to make the Sonic ethernet card work compatible with the
debian-mac68k kernel?  Or are they relying on the ROMs to get info about
the card?  What's the story?
