For networking devices that the system supports, the system will configure the interface automatically. There's nothing you need to do to configure it. Did you run the driver testing tool on the live CD before installing OpenSolaris? It should have told you what parts of your system were supported. The driver for Via Rhine adapters in OpenSolaris is "vr". It currently binds to several such adapters, but I think the driver integrated into build 115 (CR 6770327). Since OpenSolaris 2009.06 is based on build 111, you don't have that driver. While waiting for build 115 to show up on the pkg servers, you might use the 'vfe' driver here: http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/ (I've never used it; I don't know whether it works in build 111.) -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
