Ok, I have finally been able to install the nfo drivers onto my machine and setup all the usual networking files to set my device to static ip. Alas, I still have no network access! I cannot ping my router and have run out of ideas on how I can troubleshoot why I am not able to get solaris to play nice with my nic. I have tested the cable and port with my laptop and it works.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot a NIC. Is there a way to get insight into whether solaris is actually communicating with my nic and also to see if any errors are been returned. Basically I want to see the communication between the OS and card. What should I look for in terms of verifying that at least on the OS level things are working as they should be and then how do I work myself towards been able to ping the network. One thing is for sure, I cannot get DHCP to work because after running sys-unconfig and then trying to setup DHCP the system returns a flat out, NO. Any trouble shooting help is appreciated. I have seen other people have success with this driver and my chipset, but it wasnt an identical motherboard, so maybe that is my problem. Also, any chance the latest version of Solaris Express will work better for my NIC? I have the version prior right now.
