Hi Wayne, W. Wayne Liauh wrote:
For those who have been trying to explore a move from Linux to Solaris, "the" most frustrating problem (plse note I didn't say "one of . . .") is the inability to make NIC work under Solaris. Sun's developers seem determined to exclude ALL of those drivers for NICs that are embedded in AMD-based motherboards. (Strangely enough, most OpenSolaris-derivatives, including NexentaOS and BeleniX, have no problem with those cheap/free but essentially ubiquitous NICs.)
That's quite a claim to make. I would dearly love to know on what evidence you base the claim about Sun's engineers. Which devices in particular are you bitter about?
This week, CompUSA has Netgear FA311 NIC on sale for $4.99 (after rebate). Listed at the very end of the Solaris HCL, it works flawlessly with Solaris10u2 and SE44.
This is good to know. I wonder what the shipping charges outside of the continental USA are, though. BTW, which driver are you using for this card? That's the sort of info which will most definitely help others. James C. McPherson _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
