Hi,

I just tried to replace a NIC driver on OpenSolaris snv166 and 167. The driver can not be installed. Even inbox driver from earlier version of OpenSolaris OS, snv155, also can not run:
"WARNING: mac_register failed for port 0"

I guess there are some modificaiton in header files and I need a rebuild. However, even after I download the latest ON bits yesterday, the new driver still unable to run. I think the ON bits files posted to OpenSolaris.org have not been updated. Any body encountered this issue?

Sounds like they bumped the mac version. Too bad nobody outside Oracle
can now what the changes are... you'll have to ask Oracle.
