Thats good , Now we know its an NVIDIA Ethernet NIC.
Do You have a file /dev/nge similar to this ?
shuttle:/dev/$ pwd
/dev
shuttle:/dev/$ ls -l nge
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 mar 16 16:00 nge ->
../devices/pseudo/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:nge
If this file exists Solaris has already recognized you NIC chipset
If it does not exist we need to find the PCI DEVICE ID for the NIC to
update the driver definitions.
The PCI Device ID is a string of up to 4 hexadecimail numbers printed
close to the line where you found the info on nge0 in the prtconf -v
list.
It will look something like this .....
look for the string pci10de,xxxx where xxxx is the four
characters we need.
( 10de , is the nvidia vendorcode )
in the example below , from my machine, the PCI DEVICE ID is "57"
pci1297,5036, instance #0

--------------------------------
now 10de,57 is one of the know ID's for NVIDA CK08/MCP55 chipset,
The /etc/driver_aliases file contains:
nge "pci10de,56"
nge "pci10de,57"
nge "pci10de,269"
nge "pci10de,268"
nge "pci10de,373"
nge "pci10de,372"
nge "pci10de,37"
nge "pci10de,38"
nge "pci10de,3ee"
nge "pci10de,3ef"
nge "pci10de,e6"
nge "pci10de,df"
If your PCI ID is not in this list you will need to update ther driver
dfinitions with
# update_drv -a -i '"pci10de,xxxx"' nge
where xxxx are the numbers you find in your prtconf -v list.
