I think you missed the second "make install" in "5.Installation" step (1). The install procedure in README.txt is a little tricky, in which you must do "make install" twice to complete the installation. That is because to escape from the case that bfe causes serious problems, i.e. the system panic in boot time forever. > I copied /var/tmp/bfe-2.3/amd64/bfe to > /kernel/drv/amd64/bfe and rebooted it.

But generally, I recommend to use "make install" to copy the bfe binaries correcty. You must copy the 64bit binary of bfe into /kernel/drv/amd64 and the 32bit binary into /kernel/drv. This is a little complicate. > 2) When ever I do it manually I see bfe0 entry > manually with 0.0.0.0 address. This is because you just plumbed the bfe0. At that time, you have not specified the internet address for bfe0. Therefore, the address shown is 0.0.0.0, Don't worry. > Even if I try ifconfig bfe0 auto-dhcp start it gives > me a bogus address. I think dhcp includes another issue. If you can, I recommend to specify the internet address for the port manually. After that, try ping command for other computers in the same network segment. If you cannot have an interrnet address for manual setting, please try "snoop -d bfe0" by root, then you'll see comming packets. -masa This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
