Agreed; not just correct but easy. However, for some open source projects, being able to support more than just OpenSolaris is a goal. In that case, it makes sense to use plain old DLPIv2 for portability and make sure that you check /dev/net/<ifname> before trying /dev/<ifname>. I agree that Clearview UV support seems like a blocking item. We shouldn't be integrating something into Solaris if it doesn't properly support the basic OS features. That means there's a code change needed here: either fixed to support /dev/net (and then supported later with whatever changes may be needed), or changed over to libdlpi. In my estimation, that should be an implementor's choice to resolve. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
