Hello Experts, I'm one of two engineers working on the Solaris 10 Containers project (http://opensolaris.org/os/project/s10brand). I'm in charge of evaluating exclusive-stack Solaris 10 Containers and determining which changes will need to be made to the emulation layer to allow such zones to work. Nicolas Droux told me that most physical NICs still appear in /dev, but not all. I wanted to confirm that this is the case and ask if there was anything else that Clearview changed that makes OpenSolaris networking incompatible with Solaris 10 userlands. (In other words, if I were to run a Solaris 10 userland within a zone on top of OpenSolaris, would anything that Clearview introduced or changed prevent the Solaris 10 userland from using NWIFs that I provide to the zone?) If some physical NICs won't appear in /dev in addition to /dev/net, then what would you suggest that we do to allow Solaris 10 applications that depend on the presence of the NICs in /dev to work?
