[OpenIndiana-discuss] using LSI 2308-IT onboard supermicro X9DRD-7LN4F-JBOD, openindiana not loading drivers? (OpenIndiana-discuss Digest, Vol 29, Issue 43)

[Christopher Chan]

If Vbox did try to install the crossbow driver, he should have noticed 
it fail to load as there are three kernel calls that that driver expects 
to find but will be unable to find.

In any case, the vbox streams driver is problematic and cuts off the 
network from time to time. That's why I tried to force the installation 
of the crossbow driver only to find out that they are depending on three 
new vnic_{create|delete|modify} calls that illumos does not have.
