What is the general stance on power management for NIC drivers? I asked some questions on driver-discuss a week or two ago about power management, and never got an answer. I also could not find an in-tree example of an OpenSolaris NIC driver which used power management. I decided not to be a pioneer and gave up on trying to do any sort of PM in my 10GbE driver.
