There is a tool that will answer to that question:

Most third party network drivers are downloadable from here: http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/

Thanks for your reply
I downloaded rf-1.1.0.tar.gz driver from the link you have mentioned in above post but when i am trying to install getting many errors
here are some of the errors

Code:

bash-3.0# gunzip rf-1.1.0.tar.gz | tar xvf -
bash-3.0# cd rf-1.1.0
bash-3.0# rm obj Makefile
bash-3.0# ln -s  Makefile.${KARCH}_${COMPILER} Makefile

Did you look at the listing? The link "ln" command failed, because a Makefile was already present. Type in "rm -f Makefile", then do the link again. Then type in "make". A "make install" option may not be present in that program.

bsdunix · 09-09-2009, 09:45 AM

I wonder if the README.txt file explains how to compile and install the driver.

srinivasmiriyalu · 09-09-2009, 09:58 AM

thanks for your reply and walked upto make and make install successfully
when i am trying to load module it came up with below meggase

Code:

bash-3.00# rm obj Makefile
bash-3.00# ln -s Makefile.i386_gcc Makefile
bash-3.00# ln -s i386 obj
bash-3.00# /usr/ccs/bin/make
bash-3.00# /usr/ccs/bin/make install
/usr/sbin/install -f /kernel/drv -m 755 -u root -g sys i386/rf
new owner is root
i386/rf installed as /kernel/drv/rf
bash-3.00# ./adddrv.sh
("pci10ec,8139") already in use as a driver or alias.
bash-3.00# rm /kernel/drv/r
ramdisk       rds           rf            rtls
ramdisk.conf  rds.conf      rge           rtls.conf
random        rdsib         rpcib         rts
random.conf   rdsib.conf    rpcib.conf    rts.conf
bash-3.00# rm /kernel/drv/rf
bash-3.00# mod
modinfo    modload    modunload
bash-3.00# modload obj/rf
can't load module: Invalid argument
bash-3.00#

so here I stucked..

jlliagre · 09-09-2009, 10:18 AM

Then reboot and have a look if the rf0 interface can be plumbed.

Code:

# ifconfig rf0 plumb

srinivasmiriyalu · 09-10-2009, 12:03 AM

got error which says

Code:

bash-3.0#ifconfig rf0 plumb
ifconfig:plumb:rf0:No such file or directory

jlliagre · 09-10-2009, 12:28 AM

Are you sure you installed a driver matching your hardware ?

What says

Code:

/usr/X11/bin/scanpci

?

Your ethernet card should be supported out of the box with the rge driver.
You wifi one with the iwk one but that one probably only works with OpenSolaris based distributions.

srinivasmiriyalu · 09-11-2009, 03:27 AM

So do I need to download rge driver?

jlliagre · 09-11-2009, 04:08 AM

"Out of the box" meant you are likely to already have it.

srinivasmiriyalu · 09-11-2009, 08:16 AM

I dont think so,when i typed command ifconfig -a it comeup with only lo interface and nothing more else,as per your post if it is bundled with solaris how can i find?

jlliagre · 09-11-2009, 08:53 AM

Under Solaris, interfaces only show up if they are plumbed.
Try:

Code:

devfsadm -v
ifconfig rge0 plumb
ifconfig -a
