I've got to ask...how good are those drivers? I mean, how old are they? Are they from a well known vendor with a good record of driver dev on Solaris? Who is the vendor, out of curiosity?
With a new(-ish) technology like WiMax, the first thing I'd be worried about would be the driver support. Also, SACK? Jumbo frames? Just curious if you tried any tuning in these areas, and if so, what results you received.
