Ok, so then we are back to showing output between show-linkprop and show-<linktype>. Since "show-linkprop" is the more general of the two (it has more of a burden to have the same output format for all link types), and given that we want ndd users to switch to dladm, I would venture that show-linkprop should just print the "sea of properties" (inluding MII props for ethernet) and the show-<linktype> can print a concise output (like the one above). --Sowmini
