Description
   On my Sony Vaio VGN-FZ21MR notebook I have Marvell Yukon 88E8036 Fast Ethernet Controller. It works perfectly with original driver v10.0.3.3 on nv124.
yukonx0 is /pci@0,0/pci8086,2847@1c,4/pci104d,9005@0
pci bus 0x0008 cardnum 0x00 function 0x00: vendor 0x11ab device 0x4351

But original driver does not work after upgrading to nv125.
So I tried to remove YUKONXsolx. Since 88E8036 is not in driver list I did the following:
update_drv -a -i '"pciex11ab,4351"' yge
ifconfig plumb yge0
yge0 then appears in the list of dladm show-link.
yge0 was added into the list of nwam.
But yge0 interface was always down:

More findings:
I have external attached USB hard drive for the zfs (rpool) mirroring purposes.
Now I updated my system to build 126. Againg removed YUKONXsolx, update_drv and replaced yukonx with yge in /etc/nwam/llp.
When my system is booting with that USB drive attached then yge is failing: WARNING: yge0: No valid link mode selected.  Powering down PHY.
But if I will remove USB drive before booting then yge0 working perfectly!
Attaching USB drive later when system finishs booting not breaking yge.
