moving to something within same industry may open new opportunities in the long term. But it could mean starting all over ... low pay etc but having the interest can make a difference.
A friend from the old field service team switched to SAP development back in 2000, he jumped at the chance to join an internet start-up back in those crazy times and started all over again but when the dot.com bubble burst he struggled during the fallout years but time has proven that he made the right move. Today he hires himself out as a SAP consultant earning serious money.

NAME
mxfe - MXFE Fast Ethernet device driver
SYNOPSIS
/dev/mxfe*
DESCRIPTION
The mxfe is a Solaris STREAMS hardware driver supporting the Data Link Provider Interface (dlpi(7P)) over the Macronix 98715 family
(including the Lite-On PNIC-II) of Fast Ethernet controllers.
DLPI SPECIFICATIONS
The mxfe driver supports both style 1 and style 2 modes of operation. Physical points of attachment (PPAs) are interpreted as the instance
number of the mxfe controller as assigned by the operating system.
The relevant fields returned as part of a DL_INFO_ACK response are:
o Maximum SDU is 1500.
o Minimum SDU is 0.
o DLSAP address length is 8.
o MAC type is DL_ETHER.
o SAP length value is -2, meaning the physical address component is followed immediately by a 2-byte SAP component within the
DLSAP address.
o Service mode is DL_CLDLS.
o Broadcast address value is the 6-byte Ethernet/IEEE broadcast address (ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff).
If the SAP provided is zero, IEEE 802.3 mode is assumed and outbound frames will have the frame payload length written into the type field
Likewise, inbound frames with a SAP between zero and 1500 are interpreted as IEEE 802.3 frames and delivered to streams that have bound to
SAP zero (the 802.3 SAP).
