OK. The surprising thing to me was that we added this to the DDI long ago -- making it theoretically available for others to use -- but if they ever tried using it, it wouldn't have worked as expected, at least according to this project. I had though that meant I was likely missing something (such as a subsequent change to device enumeration that broke the DDI). But if that's not the case, then "ok." -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
