An idea/observation, just for idle consideration by whomever may be
interested... might it be suitable to emit a advisory CE_NOTE or
CE_CONT in drivers who formerly had their jumbo frame features
activated by a driver.conf incantation?
Something like
"modname/instance: Legacy jumbo frame configuration not supported. See
dladm(1m)"
Having the deprecated driver.conf parameters be silently ignored, a
action that I'm sure has plenty of precedent, could bite the
unsuspecting admin down the road when they upgrade any jumbo-dependent
servers from Solaris <whatever> to Solaris Next... at least from a
performance standpoint.
I wouldn't normally suggest something like this, but the use of jumbo
frames in Solaris is pretty widespread these days to perhaps warrant
it. Any existing references to driver.conf parameters in a driver's
own man page could stand some consideration, too... being redacted or
replaced with a pointer to dladm.

Hi I just upgraded to snv_118 and I can't get jumbo frames working
anymore.
It was working under snv_111b
I've got accept_jumbo = 1; in /kernel/drv/nxge.conf
I noticed in the default nxge.conf, the comments for jumbo frames
have been removed.
I upgraded to snv_121 and it doesn't work there either.
Anyone know how to get jumbo frames working again?
We've standardized on dladm for enabling jumbograms. Try:
dladm set-linkprop -p mtu=9000 nxge0
