With Solaris, network interfaces are not shown until
you "plumb" them...

Jürgen,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I tried "ifconfig -a plumb". It didn't change anything; I still
just see the two lo0 devices (IPv4 & IPv6)


prtconf -pv shows two Ethernet controllers:

'pci8086,108c'
...
vendor-id: 00008086
device-id: 0000108c

Seem to be known, at least with ~ snv_80:

% grep e1000g /etc/driver_aliases
...
e1000g "pci8086,108c"
...

'pci8086,109a'
...
vendor-id: 00008086
device-id: 0000109a

The second one appears to be known, too:

% grep e1000g /etc/driver_aliases
...
e1000g "pci8086,109a"
...

Yes, both devices are in there. But the driver is not loaded.

I'm at a lost to understand why.

I've also got a Supermicro PCI-X 8-port SATA card plugged in
(SAT2-AOC-MV8) with 8 drives connected. None of those devices are
visible to the O/S either. I don't know if this is related, or just
coincidental.

<sigh> Why is nothing ever easy????!!!

I'm thinking you may have a bad motherboard....
Re-evaluate your Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection procedures before you work on the 2nd motherboard.
