That makese sense. Another question: should I expose these values via kstat and m_getprop/m_setprop? It seems that since the device predates that particular revision to 802.3, it would be best to not support them (in effect, only duplex and flowctrl can affect link partner caps). It may be misleading to see a non-MII device sporting adv_ properties... Thoughts? -- Yet magic and hierarchy arise from the same source, and this source has a null pointer. Reference the NULL within NULL, it is the gateway to all wizardry. _______________________________________________ driver-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/driver-discuss
