The short answer is: never, the driver always crashes the machine after a short time. As far as I remember with discussions from davem the driver only worked on UP machines, which I can't simulate with the Sun Fire 480R as it has 2 CPU/board. A dual cassini Gigabit RJ45 is build in. I'm on vanilla 3.2.12 at the moment and will test after easter in the (not so much) spare time. If anybody with such a machine has it running I'm interested to hear.
