its not even recognizinfg the router. my router is wireless but i have my computer set up as a cable to the back of one of the ports on the router.
its a linksys 150 -g -n. also....
i deleted rtls driver to start from scratch with the rf and now i cant even get unix to see rf when i do ifconfig -a. I dont even know where rtls came from. I do have an onboard lan but i disabled it in bios so that shouldnt be it. the onboard lan is rhine fast II ethernet and the pci is a realtek 8139c. although i did try and install the driver from the floppy that came with the realtek but i couldnt even see my floppy drive to install it in the first place.
so i skipped to step (c) and did sys-unconfig and rebooted. it only gave me options to change my host name, login and password, and time zone. it didnt give me anything about changing network settings.

But you do have the driver now installed?

Assuming you have the driver setup as you did before..

First set it up manually to test it...

ifconfig rtk0 inet address net-mask mask
route add default router

set up "/etc/resolv.conf"

domain x.y.z
search p.q.r
nameserver 1.2.3.4

Then set it up persistently

add address and name in "/etc/hosts"
set "/etc/hostname.rtk0" to your hostname
set "/etc/defaultrouter" to your router's address
set "/etc/netmasks" if there is a mismatch in netmask after reboot

netstat -nir gives me:

Name mtu net/dest address ipkts .....
lo0 8232 127.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 420 .....


Routing Table

Destination Gateway interface
224.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 lo0
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 lo0

i also tried:
cd /.../rf-x.x.x
/usr/ccs/bin/make install
./adddrv.sh
rm /kernel/drv/rf
modload obj/rf
devfsadmin -i rf
ifconfig rf0 plumb
and it gave me "cannot attach interface"

also...
when i boot unix it gives me these errors...
lib/svc/method/net-physical failed with exit status 96
svc.started:system is down
failed to configure ipv4 DHCP Interface:rf0
