Just a suggestion, perhaps there should be a dev tree in
sysctl with nodes for each device type then device.
interesting applications for this:
reporting on packets dropped/sent and such
displaying connection status (duplex/100mb/10mb... etc)
enabling/disabling power saving features
dev.iface.fxp0.ipkts = 432523
dev.iface.fxp0.opkts = 432523
dev.iface.fxp0.linkspeed = 100
dev.iface.fxp0.linkmode = full-duplex
dev.dsk.da0.tags = 32
....
sysctl -w dev.iface.fxp0.linkmode=half-duplex
?
