   Just FYI, in case it saves someone some time, i think the hme driver (at
   least for Sbus) requires the ISO option in the kernel.  When i booted from
   an "ISO-less" MP kernel on my SPARC 5/170, the hme interface didn't seem
   to pass packets (ICMP or NFS).


interesting.  i've always disabled ISO in my custom kernels and
i've used hme on sparc's for ages, including today on an ss20,
and i have never noticed this as a problem.
