My recent proposal for dladm/wifi proposes a new "link properties"
mechanism for dladm(1M) that we hope will present a convenient and easy
way to administer link-specific properties.  Right now, the properties are
specific to WiFi, but the current plan is to extend this to adjust other
per-link properties.

I realize this is not yet a solution for you because you must use GLDv2,
but longer-term (e.g., either when you can port to GLDv3, or when
Clearview's Nemo Unification work allows your driver to be managed with
dladm), I hope you will be able to make use of it.
