  Yep, it would be the gem on that model.

  What type of phy do you get in the dmesg ? For comparison, here's the 
relevant part of a 'boot -v' dmesg on an eMac:

gem0: <Apple GMAC Ethernet Adaptor> mem 0xf5200000-0xf53fffff irq 41 at 
device 1
5.0 on pci2
gem0: Reserved 0x200000 bytes for rid 0x10 type 3 at 0xf5200000
uninorth mapdev: start f5200000, len 2097152
miibus0: <MII bus> on gem0
bmtphy0: <BCM5221 10/100baseTX PHY> on miibus0
bmtphy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto
gem0: 10kB RX FIFO, 4kB TX FIFO
gem0: bpf attached
gem0: Ethernet address: 00:03:93:a4:36:fe
gem0: [MPSAFE]

Peter.
