Full Discussion: Network interface not found ?
Operating Systems Solaris Network interface not found ? Post 302172370 by pupp on Monday 3rd of March 2008 02:27:17 PM

so i checked out this pdf: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/GuestOS_guide.pdf looks as if solaris 9 is good to go for an install.

also looking over some of this stuff. i found this.
Quote:
Solaris 10, 32‐bit guests supports the Flexible network adapter driver. If VMware Tools is installed on the guest,
the adapter driver identifies itself as Vmxnet. If VMware Tools has not been installed on the guest, the adapter
driver identifies itself as pcn.
After installing the Solaris 10 Operating System on a virtual machine, the pcn driver appears. Install VMware
Tools and reboot the virtual machine to ensure that the default pcn driver switches to vmxnet.
now i know its solaris 10 but this could be very similar to what is going on in 9. does vmware tools need to be installed in order to make this interface come up as vmxnet?
