Detecting NIC in Solaris10
I have an E420 server that has a TPE Slot / NIC installed.
However there is no interface file installed eg /etc/hostname.hme0 or equivalent.
I have placed a private ip entry int the hosts file to accompany the loop back entry i.e.
127.0.0.1 localhost
172.16.0.10 loghost se420
/etc/inet/netmask has no entries and /etc/ethers does not exist
when I try ifconfig -a, the protocol is shown as IPV4 and I get a successful loop back test on 127.0.0.1
However when I try a traceroute to se420, I get the message "Can't find any IPV4 network interfaces"
I have tried a reconfiguration reboot using reboot -- -r but this has made no difference.
I should point out that during these tests, I have not actually connected the TPE port to any network device eg router, switch or even via crossover cable.
Any ideas as to how I get this network up & running.

WAKE(8) BSD System Manager's Manual WAKE(8)
NAME
wake -- send Wake on LAN frames to hosts on a local Ethernet network
SYNOPSIS
wake [interface] lladdr [lladdr ...]
DESCRIPTION
The wake program is used to send Wake on LAN (WoL) frames over a local Ethernet network to one or more hosts using their link layer (hard-
ware) addresses. WoL functionality is generally enabled in a machine's BIOS and can be used to power on machines from a remote system with-
out having physical access to them.
interface is an Ethernet interface of the local machine and is used to send the Wake on LAN frames over it. If there is only one Ethernet
device available that is up and running, then the interface argument can be omitted. lladdr is the link layer address of the remote machine.
This can be specified as the actual hardware address (six hexadecimal numbers separated by colons) or as a hostname entry in /etc/ethers.
wake accepts multiple lladdr addresses. Link layer addresses can be determined and set using ifconfig(8).
FILES
/etc/ethers Ethernet host name data base.
SEE ALSO
ethers(5), ifconfig(8)
