Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Solaris on Intel Post 54989 by rhfrommn on Monday 30th of August 2004 11:22:37 AM

That's an awfully big question. I can't even try to give a complete listing - you'll have to go to sun's website and look for feature listings, whitepapers, and stuff like that.

But the few things that jump immediately to mind are:

1. The open boot prom you have on sparc won't be there since Intel uses BIOS instead.

2. Lots of the hardware tools will be missing or behave differently. I'd guess stuff like prtdiag, psrinfo, mpstat, and so on will be different.

3. Basically, the lower level you get the more different it will be. High level stuff like OS commands, software packages, and add-on tools like gzip, top, etc. should be pretty similar, but lower level stuff that talks directly to the kernel or hardware might change.

     In addition to Intel's own ``PRO/1000'' line of Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, these chips also appear on some server systems, processor evalu-
     ation boards, and in embedded systems.

     The i8254x supports IPv4/TCP/UDP checksumming and TCP segmentation in hardware.  The wm driver supports these features of the chip.  See
     ifconfig(8) for information on how to enable this feature.

SEE ALSO

     arp(4), ifmedia(4), mii(4), netintro(4), pci(4), ifconfig(8)

HISTORY

     The wm driver first appeared in NetBSD 1.6.

AUTHORS

     The wm driver was written by Jason R. Thorpe <thorpej@wasabisystems.com>.

BUGS
