Interesting, although I'd prefer something such as:
bash-3.00# dladm show-dev
e1000g0 link: up speed: 1000 Mbps duplex: full
e1000g1 link: up speed: 1000 Mbps duplex: full
e1000g2 link: unknown speed: 0 Mbps duplex: unknown
e1000g3 link: unknown speed: 0 Mbps duplex: unknown
going to:
bash-3.00# dladm show-dev
e1000g0 link: up-a speed: 1000 Mbps duplex: full
e1000g1 link: up-a speed: 1000 Mbps duplex: full
e1000g2 link: unknown speed: 0 Mbps duplex: unknown
e1000g3 link: unknown speed: 0 Mbps duplex: unknown
So that the speed is more easily extracted and usable in scripts.

Hi.
bash-3.00# dladm show-dev
e1000g0 link: up speed: 1000 Mbps duplex: full
e1000g1 link: up speed: 1000 Mbps duplex: full
e1000g2 link: unknown speed: 0 Mbps duplex: unknown
e1000g3 link: unknown speed: 0 Mbps duplex: unknown
I think that below output would be better:
bash-3.00# dladm show-dev
e1000g0 link: up speed: a-1000 Mbps duplex: a-full
e1000g1 link: up speed: a-1000 Mbps duplex: a-full
e1000g2 link: unknown speed: 0 Mbps duplex: unknown
e1000g3 link: unknown speed: 0 Mbps duplex: unknown
So admin knows that those parameters were actually auto negotiated.
It would be also more similar to network switches.
Of course in case duplex/speed was forced then no a- prefix would be printed.
What do you think?
