I'm trying to setup Gentoo on an Ultra60, but I cannot seem to get the ethernet configured.

I found this thread which mentioned running the command:

# modprobe sunhme

to use the built in ethernet on an Ultra60. This command doesn't work for me, though. It says:

modprobe: can't locate module sunhme

and the other odd thing is that sunhme does not appear when i run the command:

# ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net

I have tried modprobe on the modules that are listed in there, but get an error to the effect of insmod DRIVERNAME failed. Was this driver removed from the more recent sparc CD's? I'm using Gentoo-sparc64-1.4_rc4-08Sep2003, which is later than the CD mentioned in the earlier post.

thanks

We tend to build sunhme into the kernel if there's room, so no need to modprobe.
