well, in short (i discussed this with qemu/kvm guys):

1) sunos guys say that problem is in driver emulation .. ok, right
2) qemu guys say **YOU FIX (cuz you have strange implementation)

there is no way out from this .. so i'd like to fix .. it has only one
problem .. i am unable to dig out from mdb or whatever i should use
what's happening bad in sunos kernel with loaded e1000 driver ..

logs don't contain any clue, everything seems just fine ..

i'll very appreciate any hint or link to docs which would tell me, what
to be looking for in there ..

ave, daniel
