No. I think the original Nemo team wanted to gain some experience in using the interfaces before allowing "too many" drivers -- even in the ON consolidation -- to use them. We're long past those days, though, and Consolidation Private (particularly for the mac layer interfaces) sounds like a reasonable assertion to me, as does "contracts now cancelled." -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
