So badly that I get basically /no/ traffic, even just during a normal boot? Surely something is wrong if a default setup cannot operate at all. DHCP succeeds but that's about it. At the very least, I'd expect some very strong warnings in the dladm manpage that you need at least 2Mbits/s in order to support a virtual NIC in normal operation. It would also be nice to see some words about expected accuracy. regards john _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
