Hi to all the NetBSD mac heads :)

	I figured since we're discussing networking it would be a good time  
to come forward with this...
I'm using NetBSD (currently version 2.1) on a Digital Audio PowerMac  
G4 (the PM). The PM runs as a server and has two nics, the onboard  
gigabit and an extra 10/100 nic. The later is used to connect to the  
lan and the former is on a direct link with the workstation (which  
also has an extra nic for lan). Both machines have gigabit, this is  
great because I transfer a lot of files between them. Sadly, NetBSD's  
gem driver (used by most onboard PM cards) does not support Gigabit.  
I've looked at the change list of v2.0 -> v3.0 and see that it has  
not been addressed yet. Neither is it in the v3.0->v4.0 list. I know  
for a fact that OpenBSD supports this feature (although I have not  
tested it) =>

Is there any plans to update the driver?
This is a widely used nic on the PowerMacs, I think it would be very  
beneficial for the macppc port to have better gem support.
