I am curious, can you compile the Sun GEM support driver? and if so,
does the Spider Net driver compile?
I know I did not have the PPC hardware to test the compilation of the
Spider Net driver, but I was basing the Makefile changes on similar
changes that the Broadcom driver required, which I did compile test.
I want to resolve this before continuing on with the next set of
patches.
