41 .Nd ERI/GEM/GMAC Ethernet device driver
48 driver provides support for the GMac Ethernet hardware found mostly in
49 the last Apple PowerBooks G3s and most G4-based Apple hardware, as
50 well as many Sun UltraSPARCs.
59 Sun GEM gigabit Ethernet
61 Sun ERI 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
69 .Va local-mac-address?
70 system configuration variable which can be set in the Open Firmware boot
79 driver will use the system's default MAC address for all of its devices.
82 the unique MAC address of each interface is used if present rather than
83 the system's default MAC address.
85 Supported interfaces having their own MAC address include the on-board
86 Sun ERI 10/100 Mbps and GEM gigabit Ethernet Interfaces on boards equipped
87 with more than one Ethernet interface and the Sun GEM gigabit Ethernet
