MAC_VERSION is probably wrong. :-) The version number bumped in build
106, so you need to use compatible source and binaries... this is not a
binary-portable interface yet, since GLDv3 is not a documented API yet.

Hi,
I'm currently writing GLDv3 driver for my NIC (would amount to porting my
own linux driver for the same)
In my attach routine ,after basic mapping of all reqd BAR registers and all the other basic init routines reqd for my driver,when i attempt to register with the MAC module , the api call below fails
mac_register_t *macp;
.
.
.
if ((macp = mac_alloc(MAC_VERSION)) == NULL){
cmn_err(CE_WARN,"%s:mac_alloc failed\n",__FUNCTION__);
return DDI_FAILURE;
}
I even saw the src code for mac_alloc and apart from checking for the above
MAC_VERSION it just does a kmem_alloc() and returns the memory, I attempted
this on 2 different systems but with same OS installed and it failed on
both.Wondering if it's anything to do with my installation?
Below lies the OS details
-bash-3.00# cat /etc/release

bash-3.00# modinfo | grep mac
60 ffffffffefe63000 4070 - 1 mac (MAC Services v1.7)
162 fffffffff0bb28b0 dc0 - 1 mac_ether (Ethernet MAC plugin 1.1)
I am linking my driver module as follows:
ld $(LDFLAGS) -dy -N"misc/mac" -N"misc/dld" -N"drv/ip" -o <mydriver_name>
Any ideas what could be wrong?
Thanks
Som
