The "svcadm enable -ts datalink-management" trick in net-physical didn't 
work.  dladm exited with status 3, which is:

      3    svcadm determined that a service instance that  it  was
           waiting  for  could not reach the desired state without
           administrator intervention due to a  problem  with  the
           service instance itself.

I have a distinct feeling that it's because of the following dependency 
information in dlmgmt.xml:

         <dependent name='network-physical'
                 grouping='require_all'
                 restart_on='none'>
                 <service_fmri value='svc:/network/physical' />
         </dependent>

Can we express the dependency in the other direction to workaround this 
problem?
