Oh, they generally are generic enough in my experience... E.g. LRO,
receive side scaling, etc. The problem is that Solaris has no APIs to
support them and the entry bar for a driver developer getting back a new
API into OpenSolaris is just too high. It's difficult enough to even get
a driver in... I tried for 6 months and failed.
I'm at about 18 months for a driver myself, but at least a lot of that
is probably my own fault. I can't imagine trying to integrate
changes to OpenSolaris along with my driver.
