I should have been way more specific :) MII changes definitely need to take affect immediately. I was referring to the handful of private properties dnet currently supports (i.e. sromdump). I didnt really see the advantage to interrupting state for a trivial set of properties. -- Yet magic and hierarchy arise from the same source, and this source has a null pointer. Reference the NULL within NULL, it is the gateway to all wizardry. _______________________________________________ driver-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/driver-discuss
