Alexei, that seems to put the blame to the OS. Sorry. Questions to ask:
- is "netstat -i" showing counters on the X2100? - are both "bge0" interfaces exactely the same hardware? They may be variants of the same generic chip and the one in the X2100 may not be covered well by the driver. Under Linux, one would use "lspci -n" to find out the PCI IDs. In any case, you need to ask about it on the Solaris support groups. If you find something out, please let us (me) know. If "netstat" is showing working counters, we could consider changeing the metrics code to use that. But I do not like the idea. "kstat" is a relatively clean API and, most important, does not need root privileges. At least under Solaris8 (Sparc64), "netstat" has the group s-bit set and needs it.
