Steve:
I am very happy to hear that the issue regarding the "Happy
Meal" Ethernet card has been resolved in this version of the kernel for
Ultra Sparc machines!
I have downloaded and compiled it, and am going to try to deploy
it in the coming days. If it works, it will be of great assistance a
customer of mine wishing to use the Sparc in a production environment.
Again, thank you very much for your testing and guidance with
regard to the instant issue.
Very Respectfully,

The Happy meal works just fine. Stable as a rock. Both Full Duplex and
Half Duplex 100mbit (didn't try 10mbit).
I even got a little Disney toy with my happy meal 8-)
Oh and please, call me Steve. You make me feel like a very old man 8-)
