I wanted to evaluate Solaris as a simple SMB file server because ZFS reads like the best thing since rising bread. I installed the latest Express Community Edition. However it hasn't detected any of the 3 available NICs, and Google and the forum search are both coming up dry for newbie help.
This is an Nforce2 board (A7N8X Deluxe) with two onboard NICs (3Com 3C90x 10/100 Family, and the Nvidia Nforce2 one) and a gigabit PCI D-Link DGE-530T. I could install a PCI Intel Pro/100+ and see if that is picked up automatically, but ideally the gigabit ethernet would work. The one thing I came up with was http://www.dbforums.com/archive/index.php/t-1205662.html , but the scanpci command doesn't seem to run for me, and I have no idea what to do even if it did. :o) I looked for a central hardware management GUI like Windows Device Manager, but found no such thing, so I'm totally in the dark :) Can someone help me out here -- is there a way to get the D-Link gigabit NIC working? And if not, one of the other NICs? This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list [email protected]
