■Then you had to get the link status:
Starting with the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet adapter in the Solarlis 9 operating
environment this method of determining the link status is discouraged, and in some
cases, it is removed completely as a driver feature.

with one simple command.
●Toget the link status of a driver, type the following command:
where n=instance.
For more information about the kstat command, refer the kstat man page

These statistics are part of the statistics presented by the netstat -k command.
