#sys-unconfig

read the man pages for sys-unconfig before using it. it might be able to help you to re-configure your ssytem to bring your other NIC back up.

i had always used that command when I was new to solaris.

I have found the "show-devs" command from the OBP to be particularly helpful. This showed me the kind of device that the second ethernet controller is, and with that information I was able to determine that it wasn't supported under Solaris 9, which explains why I can't see it in the OS.

Thanks for everyone's suggestions. Your assistance was very helpful in me figuring this out.


This still doesn't help me understand why the first nic isn't working - But that's an issue for another thread.
