Works on the SunFire 880 with internel fibre serdes and on a SunFire 480 with a PCI Card with fibre serdes here. On the PCI card interrestingly there were initially type phy_mii_mdio1 or phy_mii_mdio0 detected and only after failing to read the phy_mii fall back to type phy_serdes. The 'shared-pins' property would be available for testing for a serdes on that card, too. But anyways, all interfaces are working. Thanks. BTW, are there any new ideas about getting post 2.6.26 kernels booting on that class of sparc machines ? My last try with 2.6.31.6 still hangs at the usual point. Anything I could/should try ? The offer of remote debugging on the SunFire 480 still stands, if you could find a few spare minutes...
