Even good old > solaris now has this on by *default*. Horrible (imho). Yes, nwam is terrible, isn't it? But fortunately, one can still configure the interfaces manually on Solaris. Just disable nwam and configure interfaces as usual, using ipadm instead of ifconfig: # svcadm disable network/physical:nwam # svcadm enable network/physical:default Then use ipadm(1M). It isn't as clean as FreeBSD's way of network config though. ;-) -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
