Hmm... I don't understand how to help me your advision.

Indifferent, use or not dhcp, i try to config NIC as described on README on
driver pack. Of course the command
ifconfig [devicename] plumb
attend in README (as variant the useful ifconfig -a plumb, it plumb all of the
drivers attached to physical devices). Then I try to attach included on Solaris
rge driver via
# devfsadm -i rge
I have error - rge driver couldn't be attached. If I install gani driver, it
attach properly, then plumbing properly, but after try to assign IP addres it
not work. IP address assign successfully, but pockets not recieve to NIC (also
i think the pockets not transmitted). The command
ifconfig [devicename] (or -a option) show normal inet address (equal with
assigned IP), netmask, broadcast and etc, but show ether (aka MAC/hardware
addess) as 6 zeroes 00-00-00-00-00-00 - it is ubnormal. It show that gani
driver not operate with NIC chipset and not work properly (manually assigning
ether address to right valie not help). I try to contact woth driver developer,
Mr Masayuki Murayama, but haven't answer at long time, only today I check
e-mail end recieve letter with updated version of gani driver. I try to test it
at next evening.
>consult 'man ifconfig' early and often :)
Usualy I do it before ask communities:-), also try RTFW (by Google)
