- i'm trying to determine a way to grab the prom-resident ethernet address
- on additional ethernet cards in a sun (sparc 2/ipx/etc). i imagine i
- might be able to open up and read /dev/sbus[0-4], but i'm not sure what method
- should be used when dealing with those devices.
-
- has anyone done this before, or have any suggestions on how to do
- so? please email responses. thanx.
