Seb,
I may not understanding something about the terminology,
but I thought I said that. What is the right
way to say "non-configurable" and/or "read-only"
attribute w.r.t. dladm?
Should the case not call them "dladm property name"?
Should it say something else?
My apologies if I am overlooking the obvious.
