Patch Installation Instructions:
--------------------------------
For Solaris 2.0 - 2.6 releases, refer to the Install.info file and/or
the README within the patch for instructions on using the generic
'installpatch' and 'backoutpatch' scripts provided with each patch.
 
For Solaris 7 and 8 releases, refer to the man pages for instructions on
using 'patchadd' and 'patchrm' scripts provided with Solaris.
Any other special or non-generic installation instructions should be
described below as special instructions.  The following example
installs a patch to a standalone machine:
 
        example# patchadd /var/spool/patch/104945-02
 
The following example removes a patch from a standalone system:
 
        example# patchrm 104945-02
 
For additional examples please see the appropriate man pages.

Special Install Instructions:
-----------------------------
After installing this patch, reboot the system to load the newly
installed driver.
 
Feature Removal Notification:
-----------------------------
The ability to have read only parameters present in the 'ndd'
output will be removed in Solaris 9. The feature will be restored
for ndd keyword 'link_status', 'link_mode' and 'link_speed' per
bug report 4724434 to maintain compatibility with existing Solaris
8 scripts.
Note that it is possible to gather the same information regarding
link state from the 'netstat -k | grep link_' output.
