Hi all, I am trying to make the net work using Solaris. Here is the result ( and the question ) so far :
- Solaris 10 Update 2 : simply crashes early at boot time - Solaris Express 11/06 ( nv_b50 ) : no problem - Solaris 10 Update 3 : doesn't crash anymore but network not ok. In Nevada, my card is recognized by the rge Realtek Gigabit Ethernet Driver version 1.3. In S10U3, this doesn't happen. I first tried to simply copy the rge driver from Nevada to S10U3 but it appears that it has some dependencies so that obviously doesn't work. Then I saw that another name was given to my rge nic in Nevada ( namely, pci1025,107 ). I tried to use ....add_drv -i '"pci1025,107"' rge.... to tell Solaris to use rge for such device name. Then "modload" to load the module. Works with a warning : "Unsupported high-level interrupt". But devfsadm -i rge says that the driver was not attached... This network card is in my new Acer Aspire 9420. So : 1. Is there a way to make this card work in S10U3 with the current rge driver ? 2. May I ( and how do I ) install the newest rge driver on S10U3 ? Many many thanks, nieuwenj, nearly ready to update Solaris HCL with a new laptop entry This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list networking-discuss@opensolaris.org
