I have a questions regarding how to see all NICS in the solaris 8/9 SPARC boxes. Even if they are active/inactive.

dladm show-link command does not work. cat /etc/path_to_inst could but it's hard to make out the NICS.

Also when a cable is disconnected from the NIC ifconfig -a still shows the NIC as "UP/RUNNING" without looking at the system message, is there a way to know that the NIC is unplugged?

Thank you!
