How does it open DLPI devices? If it doesn't use libdlpi, does it have support for Solaris "vanity naming," which requires looking in /dev/net/ for the device first? If it doesn't do that, could a fix be contributed back upstream? It's usually about two lines of code. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
