x86 Solaris 10 nic driver added but not attached. NIC is not detected.
I couldn't install my nic in solaris 10. I compiled and added
the driver but failed to attach the driver and ifconfig output
shows only loopback dev. Please see the following output and tell
me whether my nic has been detected and why the driver failed to
attach?
My nic is detected in linux as (#lspci output)
but getting the following output from my solaris 10;
/etc/path_to_inst file shows
and #prtconf -v shows
My solaris 10 version is slightly old.
Does the earlier version fit for the driver? Oracle's HCL
page asked us to download the nic driver by it's respective
pci id from Free NIC drivers for OpenSolaris
(NOTE about the drivers:-It will likely work with
D-Link DFE-530TX+, DFE-538TX and other
RTL8139 based low cost NIC cards.))
so the pci id 1300 points the link and i downloaded,
compiled both rf-1.1.0.tar.gz and rf-2.6.3.tar.gz
but got the same result in spite of successful compilation
and addition as /kernel/drv/rf but it's supposed to
be rf0. Isn't it?
So the net problem is two. Not sure whether nic's been detected
and driver installed but not attached.
I even once replaced this nic with purly realtek 8139 nic but got the same result.
What do i do now? replace with latest solaris 10/nic?
Regards..
P.S You may find the same post in other forum of different site so
please don't mind if you find it somewhere else. Jus lookin around.

Hello Admins,
My ask is how can I add two different subnet IPs to same box with two different gateways?
The issue is I can connect to the box when I am on ethernet LAN, but I am not able to connect to the same IP when I am on wifi. The server is RHEL 7 VM on vmware.

In Solaris 10 it was easy, a simple grep through modinfo output and you'd have the version of any loaded module, including your NIC drivers. In my career I've seen many people relying on this information in their scripts. Now I'm on Solaris 11, and where have the version numbers gone? The... (0 Replies)

Hi
I need to know how a driver for a network interface card works, I want to learn the basic principles since I know that every driver has its specific implementation.
For example when we speak about the scheduler, we can read an operating system book and learn general design concepts e.g.... (0 Replies)
