Maybe the driver problem which cannot recognize your NIC. I never install Soalris in normal PC (x86), I used to install in SPARC.

Not sure about why you look for 8139 as your NIC isn't a 8139 (rtls driver) but a 8101E supported by the rge one.

It should show up with "ifconfig rge0 plumb;ifconfig -a" commands. (or simply "ifconfig -a plumb;ifconfig -a)

Be aware that latest models have some issues that might only be fixed with recent OpenSolaris based OSes.

Have a look at this link for a workaround:

Hi, what is the plumb command used for actually?

my NIC driver is installed. I installed driver from the following link http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/tai...i-2.6.4.tar.gz

but now I couldn't access internet. My internet connection is DHCP type.

When I execute the ifconfig gani0 dhcp status command, it show an error.

#ifconfig gani0 dhcp status

Code:



ifconfig : gani0: interface is not under DHCP control.

ifconfig -a command show the gani0 interface.

How to assign the DHCP Ip? Kindly adive me.

It makes the interface usable and visible to "ifconfig -a".
