You might want to have a look at the documentation I wrote for my ethernet drivers. Its at
http://sol-enet.sourceforge.net/GUIDE.html or if you prefer PDF: http://sol-enet.sourceforge.net/GUIDE.pdf You'll need to rip out the references to etherdiag (which was a utility I shipped for my ethernet drivers, but which I'm no longer providing since dladm and ndd provide most of the same functionality), but some of the other bits may be useful. -- Garrett On Fri, 2007-08-17 at 21:06 -0500, Mike Gerdts wrote: > On 8/17/07, Brandorr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Is there an OpenSolaris networking FAQ?
