Guys,

Have you checked the SUN HCL?
Have you checked the X86 list at Bolthole?
http://www.bolthole.com/solaris/x86-laptops.html
Have you checked for any third party drivers?

What does it say?

Regards, C

Intel NICs are generally supported by the bundled iprb driver. "man iprb" for details.

What is the pci id of your precise model ?

10. ife driver for intel 8255x fast ethernet chipset
This is an open source alternative for solaris iprb driver.

http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/tai...e-0.9.0.tar.gz
The installer instructions are probably in the tar'd file.

I have not tested either of these so I don't know if they work.

the pci id of the card is pci8086,103d

jlliagre · 12-27-2007, 02:05 AM

Then make sure you have this line in /etc/driver_aliases:

Code:

iprb "pci8086,103d"
