@mdmarco I personally suspect that most of the people who run any kind of Solaris x86 in production are using the Intel gigabit chipset a.k.a. the e1000g chipset, which was also the chipset that came with a lot of Sun's Opteron servers back in the day. The best way to get a rapid solution to the problem would be to find someone who is a wizard at debugging problems with Solaris network card drivers (I'm thinking Garret D'Amore, but if you can think of someone else, let me know) and then maybe send them a motherboard with one of these buggy chipsets in it and let them hack on it in their free time.
The OpenBSD and NetBSD projects get hardware donations all the time, where the main purpose of the hardware donation is to get some driver issue resolved on some specific piece of hardware. The OpenSolaris project would probably benefit if we adopted some of these same customs that have proven to be successful for the BSD's. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
