Hi ,
First we need to find out if Solaris recognize your realtek card.
Solaris has two drivers built in for realtek NICs
rge - realtek gigabit ethernet 8169 , 8168 , 8167, 8136 chips
rtls - for fast ethernet 8139 chip.
The following PCI devices are recognized in SNV Build 82
rge "pci10ec,8169"
rge "pci10ec,8168"
rge "pci10ec,8167"
rge "pci16ec,0116"
rge "pci10ec,8136"
rge "pciex10ec,8136"
rtls "pci10ec,8139"
rtls "pci1186,1301"
rtls "pci1113,1211"
You can find out which device you have by running the scanpci command
as root in a terminal window.
Login as root and start a terminal window.
run the command:
/usr/X11/bin/scanpci
Is your Realtek NIC listed and is it one of those listed above ?
If you know that the NIC you have does use one of the recognized chips sets
but that the PCI ID listed by scanpci differs from the listed above you can
try to add the PCI ID to the /etc/driver/aliases file with an editor
and then reboot the system with a reconfguration boot .
you do a reconfiguration boot this way :
Logon to the system as root , start a terminal window.
# touch /reconfigure
# shutdown -y -g0 -i6
and the system will reboot.
If your chip set is totally different eg like a RTL8129 or RTL8100
you can try Muryama San's driver
http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/
or find a driver from the Vendor
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=7&PFid=10&Level=3&Conn=2
Please ask again when you have figured out which chipset you machine actually
has.
