OK; that eliminates one possible culprit.

It looks to me like the interface is working -- at least, I don't see
errors here.  (Are you sure you want to use NIS ... ?)

There's just one suspicious-looking bit of output I can see here:

This says that the link peer is refusing to do standard
auto-negotiation, which is required on at least gigabit links.  We're
_somehow_ getting to 100Mbps full duplex, but I don't quite see how
that's happening, or if it matches the peer's configuration.

The first thing I'd check would be the configuration of that link
partner (the other end of the wire) -- why isn't it doing standard
auto-negotiation?  After checking that out, I'd probably contact the
driver folks to ask about this state (either
[EMAIL PROTECTED] or just file a bug through
bugs.opensolaris.org).
