An idea that has been floated around in some discussion
is to start with creating a seperate community dedicated
to layer 2 networking.  What is layer 2 networking for
OpenSolaris?  Well, let us consider what projects would
fit into this category:
- brussels
- crossbow
- clearbiew
- ethernet bridging
... and potentially others as well.

For OpenSolaris, layer 2 networking is about:
- the mac/dls interfaces underneath IP that device drivers use
- link layer protocols (802.1X, LACP, LLDP)
and the related management problems.
