Can I Install the Gani Network Driver Using the Application that Came on the CD?
When I boot up the Solaris 10 5/09 install CD and select 'Solaris' from the GRUB menu that comes up, a menu loads. Option 5 is 'Apply Driver Updates'. Can I install the Gani driver using that? I tried using the tar file (the way it came) that I wrote to a floppy but when I asked it to look at the floppy drive it said no drivers were found. I know that my floppy drive works because I was able to boot Solaris and copy the tar file from the CD and extract it. If it is possible to use this function to install the driver, what format does it need to be in? Does the tar file have to be extracted or do I put it in a different type of archive?
