Thanks for the info Smilie

But when reading the page I noticed this:
Code:
Note 1: If you have the frame buffer Raptor GFXP -04 REV 50
          (part 370-3753-04), you *must* install patch 110126-03 to upgrade the
          FCode in the card **BEFORE** you can do the firmware update. Revisions          -05 and up of the frame buffer are not affected.
 
          Failure to install the frame buffer patch (110126-03) will cause
          "FATAL" resets after the firmware update.

I know I have a Raptor PGX32 frame buffer, is there a way to know what version of the frame buffer FCode I have? Do I need to apply the moentioned patch?

Thanks

hme -- Sun Microelectronics STP2002-STQ Ethernet interfaces device driver SYNOPSIS
hme* at pci? dev ? function ? hme* at sbus? slot ? offset ? DESCRIPTION
The hme driver supports Sun Microelectronics STP2002-STQ Fast Ethernet interfaces. HARDWARE
The hme driver supports the on-board Ethernet interfaces of many Sun UltraSPARC workstation and server models. Cards supported by the hme driver include: Sun PCI SunSwift Adapter (``SUNW,hme'') Sun SBus SunSwift Adapter (``hme'' and ``SUNW,hme'') Sun PCI Sun100BaseT Adapter 2.0 (``SUNW,hme'') Sun SBus Sun100BaseT 2.0 (``SUNW,hme'') Sun PCI Quad FastEthernet Controller (``SUNW,qfe'') Sun SBus Quad FastEthernet Controller (``SUNW,qfe'') The STP2002 family supports hardware checksumming to assist in computing IPv4 TCP/UDP checksums. The hme driver supports this feature of the chip. See ifconfig(8) for information on how to enable this feature. SEE ALSO
