While I agree with Garrett that the default values should be printed as long as the PHY isn't initialized, I'm a little concerned about tying that to the "plumbed/unplumbed" state of the interface. If the PHY has constant values for a property that are never negotiated, I would think that it is correct behavior to report that immutable value. --Sowmini _______________________________________________ driver-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/driver-discuss
