It won't.  IPMP is an IP-layer construct, not a link-layer construct.

The administrative changes are covered in section 4 of the high-level
design document:

   http://opensolaris.org/os/project/clearview/ipmp-highlevel-design.pdf

As above, since IPMP is an IP-layer construct, the requirement of editing
/etc/hostname.* remains.  However, all hope is not lost: the Network
Auto-Magic project plans to remove the need for /etc/hostname.* and thus
will also include provisions for IPMP configuration.  In addition, the
current plan is for NWAM to detect when IPMP is appropriate across a set
of IP interfaces and enable it automatically (with no configuration).

If you have more questions, please let us know (preferably at
[EMAIL PROTECTED]).  Also, if you're interested in giving
an Early Access version of the NG-IPMP bits a spin, likewise, let us know.
(It's not yet ready, but it's getting close.)
