What is your network device ? (Have a look at /usr/X11/bin/scanpci output if you don't know it)

I believe your network card is not supported out of the box by Solaris 10.
You might want to try the tcfe driver available here: http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/ which seems to require this alternate cardbux driver: http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/...laptop/cardbus

i can not uninstall solaris 10 ibm thinkpad t20.
should resolve this network issue.

which one should I install ibm t20? tcfe or cardbux?
which do you think should be installed, tcfe or cardbux?
would you help me install tcfe or cardbux.

ps: i beginner, sorry. help pls.

thanks

how do install 3Com 3c556B cardbus. there are many things. i could not find

Download both tcfe and the cardbus driver and follow the instructions in the readme file that should be with the tcfe driver. By the way, sorry for mistyping it but it is a cardbus driver, not cardbux. I'm afraid I can't help that much more. I haven't a thinkpad to experiment with.

If you find all of this too complex, you might want to install instead a supported OS like probably many mainstream Linux distributions and later install Solaris in VirtualBox.

i could not find http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/
which one should i download??

thanks

You need to download the tcfe driver, just search that term in the web page.

I searched but could not find, can you give me the download link. thanks sorry.

Sorry about that but I'm afraid if you are unable to successfully search a web page for a simple link, you'll be equally unable to install these drivers which likely demand some unix administration skills. There is nothing like a GUI to install these.

ok thanks. i search
