Description

At this moment MAC address of the physical interface is visible only after plumbing the link.
It's not possible however to plumb NIC if the link is a part of an aggregated datalink.
As a workaround someone can use libdlpi directly (dlpi_get_physaddr) but this information should be provided by dladm itself.
It's already done for VNIC:

# dladm show-vnic
LINK         OVER         SPEED  MACADDRESS        MACADDRTYPE         VID
vm01         bnx0         1000   2:8:20:7e:84:42   random              0

# dladm show-phys
LINK         MEDIA                STATE      SPEED  DUPLEX    DEVICE
bnx0         Ethernet             up         1000   full      bnx0
bnx1         Ethernet             down       0      unknown   bnx1

This feature is already implemented but not documented correctly in the manual page.

It's also missing from the actual dladm usage block in the command. I'll take care of both while I'm here.
