Comment (by anonymous):
An ultra 5 (sparc64) in my case. All ultra machines are basically sparc64.
Gentoo is currently using gcc-3.4.x for the stable toolchain, there were
some ABI changes for sparc that are documented here
http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.4/sparc-abi.html
There's ticket #493 about the hal issues, problem is some distributions
could use different gcc versions. 4.0.x won't break if built with 3.4.x, i
have to check on 4.1.x but i don't think it'll break either, but 4.1.x is
known to make bad code for sparc so it would be wise to stay far away for
the time being.
I could throw the card in a 280R but i doubt it'll help, and i don't know
if madwifi-ng is pci domain aware.
