Hola,

I wanted to let you know that I've updated this driver to incorporate
dladm linkprop support (project brussels).

The driver can be downloaded here as SysV package (includes sparc &
intel):
  http://joostm.nl/solaris/vr/latest/via-rhine-ethernet-1.20.pkg

The NICDRV test journals are here:
  http://joostm.nl/solaris/vr/latest/tests/

I wrote a little summary of my VIA mini ITX home server project here:
  http://joostm.nl/solaris/onix/

Enjoy,

Joost
