This driver is the open source replacement for elxl ... webrev at
http://cr.opensolaris.org/~gdamore/elxl
The binary is SUNWelxl.tar.gz located in the "attachments" for this
page:
http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Community+Group+device_drivers/#Attachments
(Sorry if its a bit awkward to get to... the new wiki infrastructure
handling of file attachments is rather ... clunky.)
Unlike the legacy closed driver, this driver supports IP checksum
offload, automatic link notification (for 10baseT, 100baseTX, and
100baseFX media), and full MTU vlans. It is a full GLDv3 driver, and
includes support for dladm MII properties (also unlike the closed
driver!), and sports an additional "media" property ("_media" in dladm,
or "media" in ndd) that can be used to change the default media for
cards that have multiple physical media options.
I've personally tested 10baseT, 100baseTX, 10base2, and 100baseFX. All
work properly. I've not tested 10base5, and have no plans to, nor
10baseFL. (But both of these *should* work if you have a suitable card.)
You need build 127 or thereabouts, or newer, to test. Its scheduled for
integration into b135.
Please give it a whirl.
