I just did a full test with the intention of merging it into master, and I noticed it causes new warnings on the sparc prom tests: TEST: tests/prom-env-test... (pid=17171) /sparc/prom-env/SPARCbook: Warning: nic lance.0 has no peer OK /sparc/prom-env/Voyager: Warning: nic lance.0 has no peer OK /sparc/prom-env/SS-20: Warning: nic lance.0 has no peer OK PASS: tests/prom-env-test So it needs some tweaking, I think. thanks -- PMM
