With any build up to snv_87, I had no issues with my e1000g driver at 
all.  Since then I upgraded to snv_95, and just finished an LU to 
snv_101, and continue to see FMA errors continuously, along with periods 
of 2-5 minute timeouts with the system drops off the network before 
coming back on.

The error messages I see from FMA are:
Nov  8 19:32:57 grommit fmd: [ID 441519 daemon.error] SUNW-MSG-ID: 
SUNOS-8000-E8, TYPE: Defect, VER: 1, SEVERITY: Major

Nov  8 19:32:57 grommit EVENT-ID: d815d9e4-411c-e63e-a913-de68b6901125
Nov  8 19:32:57 grommit DESC: The EFT Diagnosis Engine encountered 
telemetry for which it was unable to perform a diagnosis.

more information.
Nov  8 19:32:57 grommit AUTO-RESPONSE: Error reports have been logged 
for examination by Sun.

these events will not occur.
Nov  8 19:32:57 grommit REC-ACTION: Run pkgchk -n SUNWfmd to ensure that 
fault management software is installed properly. Contact Sun for support.

The system itself is a fairly new (~1 yr old) quad core Intel Supermicro 
MT-5015 with two onboard e1000g NICs:
pci bus 0x000d cardnum 0x00 function 0x00: vendor 0x8086 device 0x108c
  Intel Corporation 82573E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper)

pci bus 0x000e cardnum 0x00 function 0x00: vendor 0x8086 device 0x109a
  Intel Corporation 82573L Gigabit Ethernet Controller

Anyone have any ideas what's causing these FMA errors and the subsequent 
network failures?

cheers,
steve
