I'd like to make a script that I can execute every time I sign on to my linux box that keeps track of the time and allows to me to add a remark to a file. So basically once I log in, I run the script, and it outputs the date and time to a text file (log.txt). But that isn't my problem.

Hi,
My Solaris Workstation has got 4 NICS, out of which one of them(bge3) is unplugged from the rest of the external network & connected to other interface(bge1). The isolated NIC serves as a simulated Ethernet Interface for my application under development.
Now, I'd like to capture RAW... (1 Reply)

mxfe(7D) Devices mxfe(7D)NAME
mxfe - MXFE Fast Ethernet device driver
SYNOPSIS
/dev/mxfe*
DESCRIPTION
The mxfe is a Solaris STREAMS hardware driver supporting the Data Link Provider Interface (dlpi(7P)) over the Macronix 98715 family
(including the Lite-On PNIC-II) of Fast Ethernet controllers.
DLPI SPECIFICATIONS
The mxfe driver supports both style 1 and style 2 modes of operation. Physical points of attachment (PPAs) are interpreted as the instance
number of the mxfe controller as assigned by the operating system.
The relevant fields returned as part of a DL_INFO_ACK response are:
o Maximum SDU is 1500.
o Minimum SDU is 0.
o DLSAP address length is 8.
o MAC type is DL_ETHER.
o SAP length value is -2, meaning the physical address component is followed immediately by a 2-byte SAP component within the
DLSAP address.
o Service mode is DL_CLDLS.
o Broadcast address value is the 6-byte Ethernet/IEEE broadcast address (ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff).
If the SAP provided is zero, IEEE 802.3 mode is assumed and outbound frames will have the frame payload length written into the type field
Likewise, inbound frames with a SAP between zero and 1500 are interpreted as IEEE 802.3 frames and delivered to streams that have bound to
SAP zero (the 802.3 SAP).
