I've never understood why some drivers insist on logging link-status, much less announcing it to the console. I'm sure there was a once a situation where it came in handy, but I do not know what it was.
I think it was simply that the console/log used to be the only way to convey the information; IFF_RUNNING is a fairly recent addition to the IP stack and dladm/libdladm is an even more recent addition to Solaris (I know, 'cos I wrote the original code ;-)). So my feeling is that Nemo *should* log link status, on behalf of drivers, to the system log but *not* to the console and any such logging in the drivers themselves should be ripped out.
