Well, as you may have read , Oracle has decided that at some point very soon, we're going to lose normal regular access to the source code for OS/Net. (I.e. the Solaris kernel and supporting programs.) While I would have vastly preferred for Illumos to have a cooperative and collaborative relationship with Oracle , it appears that Oracle doesn't value this. In fact, the exact words were from the management at Oracle were as follows: Solaris is not something we outsource to others, it is not the assembly of someone else’s technology, and it is not a sustaining-only product. While I understand the need to own the technology, there are few things that could be stated that show a stronger NIH attitude than this. Its unlikely that there will ever be a way for Oracle and the greater community to have a collaborative relationship. This is a dark day for OpenSolaris -- its effectively dead now. (Its parent, Solaris, lives on however.) How unfortunate. For Oracle that is. Because

Someone at intel thought it would be cool to have
pci8086:10f0 EtherExpress PRO/100+ Dual Port Adapter
and
pciex8086:10f0 82578DC Gigabit Network Connection
could you please get pci8086:10f0 back to iprb in /etc/driver_aliases?
Thanks
e1000g "pciex8086,10f0"
iprb "pci8086,10f0"
you sound as if this is unsupported.
So the main problem is that "Solaris treats them as a single space"
If you can get yourself a 82578DC I could supply a PRO/100+ Dual Port so that you can plug both ids into a single machine and see which driver gets loaded.
