I think we all agree that driver-private tunables are a necessar/unavoidable evil, but the question is whether dladm should print these by default, or even by some extensions. Printing the values by default doesn't sound like a good idea - the idea behind dladm was to provide uniformity and predictability, and this would be counter to that goal. whether we should support something like "ndd -get /dev/<..> \?" is a different question. I concur with Meem that, since the private properties are really driver specific, information about their syntax and semantics should be provided with the driver's man page or other documentation --Sowmini _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
