Hi,
After email from the user group, I purchased a DLINK FDE-530TX NIC card, and
went to
http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/
And got the vfe-2.3.1tar.gz drivers.
I have followed the instructions, but pieces aren't working at in the README. I
am on a i386 machine with solaris 10 installed straight from CD: completely
clean system.
I get the following behaviour : can anyone see the "elephant in the room" ?
Am very tempted to move over from Linux to Solaris if I can just get the
machine to talk to the rest of the world...
