Out of curiosity (I don't actually need Gigabit Ethernet in my U80): Is
anyone running some 1000Base-T NIC which gives better performance in a
NetBSD/sparc64 system?  AFAICS, Sun GigaSwift NICs aren't supported; I'm
not sure whether wm(4) NICs would work with the U80's PCI 2.1 bus; and I
wouldn't quite know what else to buy.
