Generic LAN Driver

Driver developers can use the Generic LAN Driver (GLD). The GLD implements much of the STREAMS and Data Link Provider Interface (DLPI) functionality for a Solaris network driver. Until the Solaris 8 10/00 release, the GLD module was available only for Solaris x86 Platform Edition network drivers. Now, GLD is available for Solaris SPARC Platform Edition network drivers.
