Before I go off traipsing into the Nemo code, I thought I'd ask around. Is there any other driver that uses multiple PPAs for a single dev_info_t?

Yes: aggr and vnic (and the soon to be integrated iptun) all do that.

These have only one instance of a pseudo driver registering multiple MAC instances, specifying a m_instance of -1 (except for the aggregation key values for backward compatibility.)

These pseudo drivers then call dls_devnet_create() to tie-in the MAC instance created with the data link id for the new data link.

What Garrett is doing here seems to be different, i.e. potentially multiple dev_info_t registering multiple MAC instances, specifying a non-zero m_instances. In this case the framework is most likely not tying-in all the new MAC instances with data links.

  Is this a known bug?

Not that I'm aware of.
