I am running OpensSolaris nv134 boxes with the rge driver and it seems that
when DHCP is in use the interface sets the DEPRECATED flag on the interface and
the interface is no longer usable. When I say unusable it will no longer pass
traffic. If I try and unset the DEPRECATED flag I am able to unset it but the
interface is still unusable. Additionally I have tried restarting
physical:default and it still no luck. The only way it seems to get this
interface back in working order is to restart the box. This also seems to only
happen when DHCP is run on the interface. Additionally we are NOT using ipmp
which seems to be the only documented place where I see this flag mentioned.
