Thats weird somehow...
If the /dev/nge exists Solaris HAS found your ethernet NIC .
I dont think any additional update_drv is needed.
Why " failure to configure nge0 " is reported needs to be investigated.
here are some things to check up to try to establish if the device
is correctly configured.
If you issue this command:
# grep nge /etc/path_to_inst
"/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/pci1297,[EMAIL PROTECTED]" 0 "nge"
Does the PCI identifier correspond to the one you see with "prtconf -v "
?
If you issue the command:
# modinfo | grep nge
154 fffffffff82af000 105e8 189 1 nge (nVidia 1Gb Ethernet 1.29)
does the system show that the nge driver is loaded as above ?
And /devices/pseudo/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:nge should be a character device .
# ls -l /devices/pseudo/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:nge
crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 11, 189 mar 26 21:05 /devices/pseudo/[EMAIL
PROTECTED]:nge
If all this is OK. try to do a manual ifconfig with a fake address like
172.16.1.10
# ifconfig nge0 plumb 172.16.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
ifconfig -a should then show:
# ifconfig -a
nge0: flags=201000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,CoS> mtu 1500 index 2
inet 172.16.1.10 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 172.16.1.255
