Sun Quad Fast Ethernet detection in linux


Hi, I have a SparcStation 20 with dual SM-71 processors, 1GB hd, 256MB RAM, and Debian linux running kernel 2.4.27-sparc32-smp. I've been wanting to upgrade the ethernet to 100 Base-T for a while, and finally got a hold of a Sun Quad Fast Ethernet sbus card.
Once installed, I booted up the system and was expecting it to load the sunhme module (i believe this card uses the sun "happy meal" module, correct?), but instead it did the normal checks for AUI and TPE, failed both of them, and didn't load anything else. On the quad card, the link light comes on immediately and registers as well on my switch as being on and at 100Base-T full duplex, yet nothing happens. I tried modprobing sunhme, but would give me this error:

stephanie:~# modprobe sunhme
FATAL: Error inserting sunhme (/lib/modules/2.6.8-2-sparc32/kernel/drivers/net/sunhme.ko): No such device


I've tried doing a diagnostic at the open prom, but no options relate to the device and doing a diagnostic on "net-all" returns errors saying that the AUI and TPE device don't seem to be connected. The board i have looks fairly new (is Sun still making these?) and is version 1 revision 50.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated...

P.S. also, is there an equivalent command to "lspci" for sparcs?

There's /usr/X11/bin/scanpci from the Xorg server on x86/x64, but I don't think it's on SPARCs (yet?).
The Solaris standard closer equivalent is "prtconf -v", but you need to convert the id's yourself.
