DESCRIPTION

on sun4v systems. It connects to a virtual switch (vsw) device or virtual
network (vnet) device in another logical domain using a logical domain
channel provided by the hypervisor.
The vnet driver supports version 1.0 of
the vNet protocol.
The vnet driver supports the following
media types:
- autoselect
- Enable autoselection of the media type and options. The driver always uses the fastest available speed and the media options provided by the underlying host of the virtual machine.
