I wrote a fast ethernet nic driver for
SCO Unixware. Can't tell it from a sys 
admin point of view, but I found the kernel 
pretty rugged. I mean, despite screwing up 
the kernel and crashing the system several times,
it bounces back to life after a reboot without
any file system corruption.

Yes, there are a few problems like though the
driver is supposed to be a DLKM (dynamically
loadable kernel module), the n/w interface doesn't
come up. The system has to be rebooted to bring
it up. 

The other problem that I noticed was in the CDE
(Common Desktop Environment). It hangs when trying
to open a new window after removing a n/w driver
or interface.

However, their n/w test suite scores a few points
because running it will help you in ironing out
all those creases in your driver.
