Hello I installaed Solaris 10 on a Intel Plateform.
My network card is a Marwell Yukon.
After I follow the installation, the command ifconfig -a, only return
me lo0 (loopbak)
How can I check if my network card is well detected by Solaris (from
hardware)

Regards

I finally make success with my netwoark card.
The two commands ifconfig -a plumb and ifconfig -a return nothing.
Always only the lo0
I enter the command prtconf -pv and found a line with Ethernet string.
Even if my network card was detected, I can use it
I the download a driver fron this site :
http://www.syskonnect.de/syskonnect/support/driver/htm/skgesolx86.htm
run : pkgadd -d . SKGEsol
But I got an error during the installation (problem to attach)
I run again the command "prtconf -pv | less" and write the information
just after the line "Ethernet".
It was something like name : "pci1458.e000"
update_drv -a -i "pci1458.e000"
touch /etc/hostname.skge0
touch /etc/dhcp.skge0
ifconfig -a plumb
ifconfig -a
YES, ma card is present.
I reboot my machine, and great, my card is running and got an address
from my DHCP box.

Solaris 10 x86 primary slave disk not detected
Dear all, I try to have 6 SATA disks on one x86 machine. However, the primary slave disk cannot be detected. The disk can be detected and functioned whatever SATA number other than being a primary slave. And I think that other disks can not be primary slave disk. Is it correct or not? How to fix this problem? Thanks in advance. -- Johnson Chow Mr. Chow Wing Siu <wschow@comp.hkbu.edu.hk> wrote: > Dear all, > > I try to have 6 SATA disks on one x86 machine.

elxl Network Interface Problems in Solaris 10 x86
I have an x86 system running Solaris 10, current release, patched up to Recommended patch level as of a couple of weeks ago. After the system has been up a few hours, the 3c509c NIC (elxl0) seems to simply fade out of existence. Network hangs, or becomes extremely slow. Only a reboot brings it back to life, and then the process repeats. I thought this might be full/half duplex mismatched, and have tried editing /kernel/drv/elxl.conf to force full duplex. This, however, kills the NIC altogether: at boot time, it generates a rapid stream of errors indicating the interface is not working at a...
