Have a look at the kernel sources: the file drivers/net/sunhme.c happens to be
the driver for Sun Happy Meal Ethernet... go figure. You'll also find bmac.h,
drivers for the 'Big Mac' ethernet controller on Apple G3s ;-)

In case you're wondering... no, I'm not joking. 

So, stop wondering at how big the kernel code is getting... one of these days
we're gonna find a flight simulator appearing after a CTRL-ALT-CANC =-)
