It's a fair question. At least in the bugs I'm fixing, I'm leaving it alone. The NWAM design is tragically impaired by CR 6772510, but I'm not sure what the right thing to do is here, and rewriting the NWAM Phase 0 from scratch -- plus the broken parts of libdladm and the drivers -- just wasn't part of the Phase 0.5 project. Picea was about polishing the existing code so that the warts would be something that people could just suffer through gracefully until a better solution is integrated. Actually *fixing* it is a much taller order, and more so for any Picea follow-on bug fixes. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 35 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]
