Hi I am getting this strange error whenever i try to plumb my driver to the stack ,the strange part about it is that it almost always goes away when i attempt the 2nd time ,and it never seems to happen on S10 U7 ,but only on my OpenSolaris 2009.06 (snv_111b)
ifconfig <drivername> plumb

As the first msg above indicates the mac layer is indicating that my interface(be2net0) is UP ..this is on entry to my driver_start() routine, i don't understand how does it work the 2nd /3rd attempt around then? Any idea what could be going wrong here ?

It just means that your driver attach failed initially. And after subsequent trials, attach succeeded. It might also be the time required for your device to "settle down". If you can trace where in attach it is failing, it might give you an idea of what is going wrong.
