Is there already support for HP Dv5 1170 laptop in Oracle SXCE11...?

Thx...

I changed the comment thing, but now another thing pops up...

Any ideas...?

EDIT:

I tried all this in a Solaris 11 Express VM

I Build ndiscvt in an OpenSolaris VM... seems that there is no probl with strcasestr there...

I have run the whole drill in my Osol VM...

Now i will try the same in my real install...

The problem is that my real install is an Solaris 11 Express... where i found that problem with the strcasestr thing...

I will be back at my Solaris 11 Express VM in a few hours...

Alexvader · 03-06-2011, 03:02 PM

Hi again...

I am typing from my Solaris 11 Express VM ( same OS as my installed System in another box )

I have tried to build ndiscvt, following the same scheme i used in a OpenSolaris 0906 VM

I get this error... :

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.

I Finally built the driver, and tried to load it...

no avail...

I built it for 64 bits architecture ( using the 64 bits FW ) but according to this webpage http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/...up+laptop/ndis, the thing only works

Quote:

under solaris 32bit kernel with HP Official Release Windows@ driver Download![new](../new.gif)

and i have a 64 bits install...

no matter how i tried to

Quote:

add_drv -i '"pci14e4,4315"' bcmndis

and bring the interface up with ifconfig... no avail...

Well... I guess this is the end of the line for Solaris in this PC...

Drivers built with 32 bits FW won't load, will they...?

You have both 32 and 64 bit actually. Although not an ideal workaround, you can still boot a 32 bit kernel with Solaris 11 Express. Just create a new grub boot menu entry with "/$ISADIR" removed from the lines where it appears.

If i entered a mistaken device id, like 4315 instead of 4320 how do i unset the driver is it

Quote:

# rem_drv -i bcmndis

?

If the driver is successfully loaded, how do i bring the interface up..?

is it

ifconfig bcmndis0 up ?

I know this was not loaded because running ifconfig -a listed nothing vaguely similar to bcm or ndis...

You can simply edit the /etc/driver_aliases file and remove the faulty line.

Before bringing an interface up, you need to "plumb" it, it's done with

Code:

ifconfig bcmndis0 plumb

Now the external USB HDD where i was trying this Solaris 11 Express installation won't boot anymore...

throws a kernel panic and reboots, can i fix this with the liveCD...?

last things i performed on it were copying the ndis and ndisapi to its target folders...

jlliagre · 03-11-2011, 02:41 AM

You mean to OS panics even when booting in 64 bit mode ?
You can boot in verbose/debug mode to see where the panic do happen.

In the grub menu, remove the splashimage line and, in the kernel line, replace

Code:

console=graphics

with

Code:

console=text -kv -m verbose

Alexvader · 03-13-2011, 03:22 PM

Hi...

I did this...

There's a lot of text scroll... hard to remember everything...

last thing i recall though is some hexadecimal giberish, something about a kernel (!?) dump, and a counter that goes to 100%... then it drops to some grub shell...

timerce · 09-20-2011, 06:48 PM

I commented the strcasestr, compiled, and did the add_drv command as per the instruction above
on solaris 11 express snv_151a 32bit kernel, with ndis 1.2.5 on a dell latitute d630 laptop having the
broadcom same chipset.
