If ifconfig hangs, then you're almost certainly looking at a kernel
and/or driver bug of some sort.
Either run kmdb ("mdb -K") and look at ::threadlist to find out where
the thread is stuck, or force the system to dump and upload the dumps
somewhere that a kernel engineer can look at them.
I've looked through the bug database, and I see no open bugs that
match what you're describing.

That bug was fixed in build 111 (so 2009.06 would have the fix), and
wasn't actually a "hang" of the sort you're describing.

No; you'd have to go through the whole upgrade to do that. (The
packaging system shouldn't allow you to install sunw...@snv_111 on a
101 system without going through the upgrade.)

Good question. I don't know how to do that, though. I suggest asking
it on [email protected], where the packaging folks hang out.
