We can access the raw interfaces using UNDI. I think the same is possible (in such a way) when using Open Firmware. How will we support the other cards? By using etherboot (or whatever it was used in GRUB Legacy)? What I would prefer is to have our own TCP/IP stack that is platform independent. -- Marco
