Hi Garret,
I could find you an Ultra 10 with onboard hme in our lab and arrange
remote access if you needed something to test on if that is any use?
I think the last couple of Ultra 2s we keep around are in cold storage
these days, but I might be able to dig one out and a card perhaps as
well.
Let me know this would be helpful.
Yes, it would be helpful. Especially the Ultra's, if you can find one
with
enough RAM on it to boot Nevada b112 or better.

Ok, if others test it, it is fine. Then I can save the time.
I only test it on Ultra1 200MHz, if it brings appreciated results,
rather than yet another duplicated redundant effort (such as with
wanboot or such as with Ati-Radeon- DRI/DRM).
Actually, if you have a system that you can test it on, it would be
appreciated. Such test effort is not "redundant", but improves confidence
in the test results.
Also, on your 200MHz system, any performance comparisons you can make would
be useful, since it represents the lower bound for CPU performance.
Finally, I'm *really* in need of code reviewers. If you're game:

Ok, Garrett.
Then let me join the fun.
First I must get snv112 installed on that box (with modifications, to
bypass the UltraSPARC I warning message / boot- and install- blocker /
furthermore I must either install that box as a diskless client,
again, or - alternatively - find some old scsi disk that I can attach.
No I take my 2009.06 LiveCD prototype.
But I need next weekend for it ...
I am interested in the entire hme/qfe on x86 question, too (and of
course on SPARC, as I still work on SPARC frequently). One or two
years ago I also compiled it on x86 (see opensolaris-discuss
archives).
But then nobody appeared to be interested, neither on- nor off-list.
Furthermore I lack your expertise with NIC drivers. So I stopped
messing with it.
I am glad to see you (and in the past Menno) are hitting the nail on
its head now.
If its going to be a lot of work, then don't worry about it. I forgot
that the 200MHz systems are not supported any longer. (If you *want* to
test, please feel free to do so, of course.)
Thanks though.
- Garrett
