Compatible NICs for Solaris 9 (9/05) x86
Hi,

Please can someone recommend me a cheap PCI Network card for Solaris 9 (9/05) for an Intel based PC (x86).

I currently have a US Robotics NIC installed, but Solaris does not recognise it and its been too much hassle to find drivers for it etc, so have decided to purchase another NIC that Solaris will recognise straight away!

Any recommendations?

Cheers
Wajid

ALWAYS look to Sun:

http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data...lts.page1.html

They have the list of EXACTLY what has been TESTED (and PASSED) for x86 Solaris.
the link:
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/

is the 'root' of the HCL. [Hardware Compatibility List.]

You usually cannot go wrong with an Intel Network board. They may NOT be the 'best', or most efficient, but they WORK with EVERYTHING. This used to be true about 'Tulip' boards.
