Think before replying, please?
There is a fully open-source tg3 driver that supports the
sunblade1500 onboard ethernet. The debian images just
don't have it added to the boot image.
I understand all of the issues with included firmware, but
that's been edited out of the debian kernel trees and it's
a no-brainer to add this driver to the sparc install images.
