meem, if you want access to the bits for testing, let me know (you'd just need to ensure the new svccfg is in your install image and add /usr/sbin/svccfg -s physical:default refresh /usr/sbin/svccfg -s physical:nwam refresh /usr/sbin/svccfg -s datalink-management:default refresh ...to SUNWcsr's postinstall script). thanks! alan
