the rge driver that is now included with the solaris builds says that it supports my chip set yet if I leave it enabled during the install the install hangs at configuring interface rge0. I had to go into grub in the start of the install and add disable-rge=true. This got build 72 loaded and installed on my MSI M675 laptop. After the install I tried to bring up the rge0 interface and it would plumb and configure all parameters but no packets would be sent or received. I was unable to get the interface to show any errors or to work. I removed the rge driver and installed the gani driver and other than the above mentioned problem it works.
