I posted this question to the Sparc list but didn't get a reply so I'm trying it here. I have an Ultra5 that I would like to install on. The installation pages make no mention of this, or any other machine being "supported". I am curious because the RedHat installation manual specifically states

I assume you are using pppconfig to set up the dialing. When it asks for a name for the connection give it a name. After everything else is OK type this at a root prompt: pon (where XXX is the name you gave the connection) and your modem should start-up. HTH. -Ian On Fri, 30 Apr 1999, Al

Does anyone know if a *nix (Debian) is able to create the so-called "magic packet" that tells a machine with a Wake-on-Lan adapter to power up? The research I've done on the web has been inconclusive. Don Becker's page made no mention of it either. Anyone? TIA. -Ian ___

If you have support for the card in your kernel it should be detected on bootup. The cards start at eth0...eth1..ethN (N being 1 less than the physical number of cards). You can then use ifconfig to add/bind IP's to cards to suit your needs. When you have a working setup you might add it to /et
