Hi! I just installed Open Solaris on my new computer where I also have Debian 
Linux installed. 
My problem is now that under Open Solaris no network device is available while 
under Linux there is the on board ethernet device eth1. Under solaris I there 
was the following output from the command prtconf -vp:
compatible: 'pci8086,1094.8086.1.1' + 'pci8086,1094.8086.1' + 'pci8086,1' + 
'pci8086,1094.1' + 'pci8086,1094'...

As under Linux the driver for this device seems to be a e1000g driver I tried 
under solaris  "ifconfig e1000g0 plumb" and "ifconfig e1000g1 plumb". But the 
device didn't show up. The commands resulted in the error message that there 
was no such device found.

Is the driver for this device missing under open solaris or is it not yet 
written? Is it possible to port the working Linux kernel module to Solaris? And 
if so, how can this be achieved?

Regards
Axel Schnell
