To add to the mystery, If I change the MAC it seems to work.
At boot ifconfig nge0 reports: ether 8b:3d:7e:90:1e:0 If I run: ifconfig nge0 ether 8c:3d:7e:90:1e:0 then the network starts working, and I get all the expected traffic. It also won't let me set the MAC back to what it was at boot saying "DSLAP address in improper format or invalid" Rebooting breaks it again until the MAC is changed. I know nothing about MAC addresses and if somehow the one on this device is et to something invalid? Or if it's an error state? Is there a way for me to arrange for the MAC to be set to something that works before the network fails to come up? This message posted from opensolaris.org
