Hello Steve: I have a G3 B&W 450 with a "GMAC(SUN GEM) Manufacturer:Apple Computer, Driver: sungem, Device: /dev/eth0" according to the Hardware Browser. I am using it to send this e-mail - I installed YDL4.0 straight out of the box and eth0 just came up all on its own. I wonder if the driver failed to install on your system?
(Just so Terrasoft knows that not all G3s have a problem.)
