I think I added 64-bit dnet fairly recently to Nevada. :-) I might even have added SPARC support.

How did you install your test suites?

There's a helper script that gets the netperf sources and builds them.

I thought the latest stuff has that installed after you run it...I could
be wrong.

I followed the instructions provided on the NICDRV page; in the
documentation it mentioned that if you are external to Sun you have to
download and build netperf yourself, which I did.

I've not changed anything on my end - the vast majority of my testing
outside of NICDRV is done against the 64-bit driver. Solaris 10 and
Nevada builds (up to snv_89 at least) do not have a 64-bit version of
dnet installed, which is what spurred my previous comment.
If you don't have the 64-bit driver, you could be missing the entrie(s) in
your prototype_i386. Do you have /kernel/drv/amd64/dnet in the package
and/or build?

The problem isnt with onnv or my workspace - it builds both 32 and 64-bit
modules just fine. If you look at current installs of Solaris 10 versus
Solaris Nevada, the 64-bit version is missing:

# uname -a
SunOS global 5.10 Generic_137112-01 i86pc i386 i86pc
# find /kernel/drv -name 'dnet'
/kernel/drv/dnet

v.s.

# uname -a
SunOS prometheus 5.11 snv_89 i86pc i386 i86pc
# find /kernel/drv -name 'dnet'
/kernel/drv/amd64/dnet
/kernel/drv/dnet

It should also be noted that the inclusion of the 64-bit version of dnet
is relatively recent; IIRC snv_78 had it missing as well.

Beyond that, I will do my best to get NICDRV to play nice with the
non-SUNW netperf (assuming I will be unable to get my hands
onSUNWstc-netperf2).
Have you run this wrapper to install?

Nope, but I will :) Hopefully this will take care of the problem.

Thanks!
