This, of course, is completely useless. Why? See below:

cpu0 at mainbus0: SUNW,UltraSPARC-II @ 295.995 MHz, version 0 FPU
cpu0: 32K instruction (32 b/l), 16K data (32 b/l), 2048K external (64 b/l)
..
nell0 at sbus0 slot 1 offset 0x0 vector 4 ipl 2 vector 7 ipl 2: rev 1
pcmcia0 at nell0 socket 0
pcmcia1 at nell0 socket 1
wi0 at pcmcia1 function 0: Lucent Technologies, WaveLAN/IEEE, Version 01.01
wi0: 802.11 address 00:02:2d:05:18:4c
wi0: using Lucent Technologies, WaveLAN/IEEE
wi0: Lucent Firmware: Station (8.10.1)
wi0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps

and I guess the same argument holds for macppc notebooks (while there *are*
ultra sparc notebooks in theory, their price is so absurd I doubt anyone ever
bought one).
