This script allows you to perform an optional driver upgrade
for the Intel PRO/1000 device present on this system from the "ipge"
network driver to the Sun standard "e1000g" network driver. The
e1000g driver include features such as link aggregation as well as
superior performance in most environments.  Moving forward, e1000g
will benefit from new features as they become available, bug fixes,
and performance enhancements.  The disadvantage is that some
applications configuration files may require modification to use
e1000g if they reference the ipge network interface.

This script must be run in single user mode.
This script will alter network interfaces and related system
configuration files. Configuration files for 3rd party applications
will NOT be changed. After running this script, applications present
on the system may require maintenance. The system may be in an
unsecured state. The effects of this script may be reversed using
the backout (-b) option.

Once the script has completed a system reboot will be required
to complete the upgrade.
