Unisys s-Par firmware can expose a virtual network interface to share a physical port. This patch implements an ethernet adapter that supports the virtual network adapter. Note: This adapter is not exposed via the pci bus, but a private bus specific to Unisys s-Par firmware. The bus drivers are currently in the staging-next branch.
