Thanks for the info on the yukon driver.  I realize too many variables makes
things impossible to determine, but I had made these hardware changes awhile
back, and they seemed to work fine at the time.  Since they aren't now, even
in the older OpenSolaris (i've tried 2009.06 and 2008.11 now), the problem
seems to be a hardware quirk, and the only way to narrow that down is to
change hardware back until it works like it used to in at least the older
snv builds.  I've ruled out the ethernet controller.  I'm leaning toward
the current motherboard (Asus P5W64) not playing nicely with the LSI cards,
but it will probably be several days until I get to the bottom of this since
it takes awhile to test after making a change...

Thanks,
Chad
