2nd gigbit ethernet card for Ultra 20

What a kind of 2nd gigbit ethernet card can I install into Ultra 20 with
Solaris 10 (x86)?
I could not find out any x oprtion for it. Intel pro/100 ?
How can I add driver?
Thanks,
yoshi

From the Sonnet description, it looks as if it will fit a range of machines at around that time, but here's our G5 spec anyway:
Model Name:          Power Mac G5
  Model Identifier:          PowerMac9,1
  Processor Name:          PowerPC G5  (3.0)
  Processor Speed:          1.8 GHz
  Number Of CPUs:          1
  L2 Cache (per CPU):          512 KB
  Memory:          3 GB
  Bus Speed:          600 MHz
  Boot ROM Version:          5.2.2f5
- no need to reply if this doesn't change your previous advice. Thanks again; again...

  • Ethernet Card for Satellite 2710 Urgent

    I am looking for some information about Ethernet card for Satellite 2710. Can anyone help please?
    I have purchased this from UK. Which brands of Network cards are compatible with this?
    Are all cards available in the market compatible for this.
    Thanks

    HI,
    Feliks is right. You can also buy a USB LAN Card. In my opinion they are still cheaper!
    Go to https://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com and search a little bit. At options you will find some opportunities!

  • Is there a PCMCIA Ethernet card for Powerbook G4 OS X 10.4.8 ?

    My ethernet port on my Powerbook G4 is damaged and can no longer be used. I looked into getting it repaired but that apparently requires replacing the entire system board at considerable cost. Rather than take that route, I was hoping to find a PCMCIA card with an Ethernet port but I cannot seem to find any that will work with OS X 10.4.x.
    Does anyone know of such a card ?
    Thanks for your help !

    How old is your Powerbook?
    A Mac older than 4 years old may need its clock battery replaced by an authorized service center. The clock battery dying can cause certain ports to malfunction as well. If it is under 4 years old and no surges broke the port, try zapping your PRAM, it may solve the problem once and for all:
    http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n2238
    If it is under AppleCare, there may be no cost at all. Any Mac under a year old is under AppleCare.
    Also replacing the system board can be cheaper than from Apple directly if you take it to one of these places:
    http://www.dttservice.com/
    http://www.powerbookresq.com/
    http://www.microdocusa.com/
    http://www.macspecialist.com/
    http://www.techrestore.com/
    In addition, if the port got burnt out by a storm surge or power surge your home/apartment insurance or credit card company you purchased the machine with may pay for the damage. So check each of those sources if you can't find an appropriate card.
    http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/ lists a variety of upgrade cards in their database, and may have some ethernet cards you can look at.
    By the way, the fact that port is broke suggests the possibility that any other system difficulty you are having may also be related to logicboard issue in anycase, so replacing the logicboard is a good idea if you are noticing other issues.
    This thread may yield some clues:

    This is one of the first things I found when I Googled before posting my original question.
    But if you look towards the top of the page at this link under
    System Requirements, you will see the following :
    Supports Mac OS 7.5.3 and above (Excluding OSX support) G3 PowerBooks and above are not supported.

  • Graphics card for ultra 10

    being that there are so many different types of grapics cards for sale and me not knowing which is the better of the lot i was wondering which one to get.
    I dont do alot to use the graphics but my ultra 10 does not have a graphics card so i thought ide get one to make the quality better.
    I have found a number of cheap elite 3ds and creater 3ds for sale but i dont know which is better.
    Any advice is appreciated
    Dan

    The onboard graphics that's used in the Ultra-5 and Ultra-10 systems can be configured and manipulated with the m64config command-line utility while up in the OS.
    There are man pages.
    For system-wide results, it's best done as root user. Then log out of all GUI's (e.g. out from CDE) and log back in for your changes to take effect.
    for example ...
    m64config -prconf will show you the present (current) configuration.
    Your best chance to get 24-bit color from that onboard graphics circuitry is to stay at the default resolution of 1152x900 or less, such as 1024x768. There is only 2MB of video RAM on the 375-0009 systemboard and 4MB of video RAM on all the other boards. If your system happens to have the 375-0009 board, you may not get 24bit color until you drop down to a resolution of 800x600.

  • Ethernet Card for PowerMac 5500/225

    I've an old PowerMac still gathering dust and since I'm connected to a DSL line with a wireless router I thought I'd take advantage of the 4 wired Ethernet ports at the back and wire my Mac up to the Net (you know, the old fasioned way with some Cat 5).
    This will mean bypassing the old dial-up modem (built in) by installing an Ethernet card. I imagine these now cost pennies, and can be bought on eBay, but which make and model will work best (or work at all)?
    Thanks in advance for any help that's forthcoming...
    PowerMac 5500/225 Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier System 8.0

    Many of the 5500s shipped with a Comm II slot RJ-45 Ethernet card in the leftmost (from the operator position) position [that's rightmost if you have good access to look directly at the backpanel.]
    Alas, some of them did not. If you want to install one there, you will need a Comm II slot (not to be confused with a Comm slot) Ethernet card. They are readily available from used Mac dealers, and can be had on eBay for under US$20.
    If and only if you already have the right-angle PCI slot adapter board in place, you can also use a PCI slot card, but beware -- many of the manufacturers are either no longer in business, or cannot supply Mac drivers. So if you buy a Brand other than Apple, be sure you are getting the Drivers with the card.

  • NAT / cant select my external Ethernet Card (for use with PPPoE)

    Hi i'm experiencing difficultys in setting up my server with a public IP adress on my external ethernetcard through PPPoe (xDSL). This setting is described as a sample setup in "ServerAdministrationv10.5.pdf" The following problems com up:
    - When i try to settup trough Server Assistant and i come to Network settings both (external (WAN)& internal (LAN)) Ethernetcards show up. As an necessery information there is asked for "PPPoE Servicename" (besides accountname and password). My ISP doesnt require a PPPoE Service name and when i query (?) what is asked for Server Assistant tells me that except i get the information from my ISP i have to leave the field blank. Now, i cant continue with the setup when leaving the field blank . The information is required. When i just supply some information and continue with setup the setup ends with a long pause and an errormessage.
    - Second try, after initial clean installation i Setup the server again localy with the default Serverassistant. When asked to post IP-Adress and Subnetmask for the first listed Ethernetcard i just leafe it with DHCP and continue. After initial Setup is complete i try to reconfigure the external (WAN) Ethernetcard with PPPoE. By doing that(in Systemettings / Networksettings) a get something like a new virtual Interface on my External EthernetCard. I enter the necessary information (accountname, password and leave the field for "PPPoE Servicename" blank. I connect to my ISP and get a perfect connection. No problem to brouse the Web or make FTP connection.
    Now when i continue to finish the setup of my new leopard-server i'm asked to select the external Ethernetcardin NAT. Unfortunally i have know three Ethernetinterfaces (External with DHCP, External with PPPoE and the internal one for my LAN). The 2 externel EthernetInterfeces have both the same Name (in NAT)
    and somehow i cant select the one where i have setup my PPPoE.
    Now, i go back to Networksettings and delete the initial Externalcardsetting (leaving with only my working PPPoE setting on the External Ethernetinterface). As the result of this manipulation i cant select the external Ethernetinterface in NAT anymore. Only the internal (LAN) Ethernetinterface shows up.
    Can anybody help me with to above discribed Problem? Somehow i have to be able to select my working PPPoE Setting (on my external Ethernetinterface) in NAT.

    I have this exact problem on my new Intel Xserve. During setup I configure ethernet 1 with a manual IP address and try to set up ethernet 2 for PPPoE (it will connect to my ISP via the ADSL modem/bridge) but despite the help screen saying do NOT type anything in PPPoE Service Name unless requested to do so by the ISP (they don't), if I leave it blank it complains because that field is empty and returns to the same screen.
    This brings the entire installation to a halt. Seems to me like it's a big bug - I cannot see any way around it. Someone please tell me I'm being stupid here and the solution is obvious:-)

  • ML-Ethernet Cards for the 15454

    Hi
    The ML series cards have two POS interfaces. Would you know whether it is possible to use POS sub-interfaces and map each one to a separate SDH circuit to create a hub and spoke network?
    Cheers,
    Phil

    Hi Phil, no it's not possible. Unfortunately the ML series can have only two POS connections to SDH.
    Since Rel. 8.5 there is a new ML-MR (ML Multirate Card) with 10 GigE Ports. But this card is only P2P for EPL services. Maybe this card could help you in your design. The card is very new and the SW feature set is very small at this time.

  • 10gb Ethernet cards for Oracle VM

    Hi all,
    I've been trying to find information on which 10gigE cards people have had the most sucess with on Oracle VM
    What I'm looking for is more of a guidance and 'known to work with' rather than a recommendation or certified combo.

    The NIC that shows up in the guest is emulated in software by the qemu-dm process in dom0. I don't think qemu-dm can emulate a 10G card. Even if it could, I don't think it would be able to get anywhere near 10G speed. If you want your guest NIC to be fast, you must use PV drivers for now.
    I got the OpenFiler Xen version to work, with some changes. If you are having trouble getting the PV kernel or HVM kernel with PV drivers to work, let us know exactly what the problem is, so we can help you get this to work.
    Take a look at /usr/share/xen/man/man1/qemu.1 on your dom0 server, and look for the -net parameter:
    Qemu can emulate several dif-
    ferent models of network card. Valid values for type are "i82551",
    "i82557b", "i82559er", "ne2k_pci", "ne2k_isa", "pcnet", "rtl8139",
    "e1000", "smc91c111", "lance" and "mcf_fec". Not all devices are
    supported on all targets. Use -net nic,model=? for a list of
    available devices for your target.

  • I need a PCI ethernet card driver for my Performa 6360...

    Roughly a week ago, I decided to add yet another one of my classic Macs to my LAN, a classic gaming LAN of sorts, with that mac being a Performa 6360. With it's single empty (at the time) PCI slot, the solution for an ethernet card for the system was basically screaming at me. Unfortunately, I went to my local electronics store with the assumption that PCI ethernet cards are fairly generic devices that should work in nearly everything without a problem. That turned out not to be the case. Once I finally aquired the time to install it, the card itself appeared to work, with the outer LEDs indicating network activity and a 100mbps network speed, however, when I went into the Appletalk or TCP/IP control panels, I came to the terrible realization that I needed a driver. The included CD was, much to my dismay, Windows only, Google searches haven't been much help, and worst of all, I seem to have misplaced my reciept. The "card" I keep mentioning is a Linksys LNE100TX version 5.1. Here is what is shown in the apple system profiler:
    ==============================
    PCI Slot
    Card type: ethernet
    Card name: pci1317,574
    Card model: -1
    Card Rom #: Not available
    Card Revision: 17
    Card Vendor ID: 1317
    ==============================
    What I am wondering is where I could find a driver for this card, and if that answer is "nowhere", is there any way I could get this card functioning under Mac OS 8.1? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Well the good news is there was one,

    finding one, is a good question. Oddly enough the link you posted to the 10T version is the same company as above.
    Yes, I have tried searching a number of places for it, and haven't come up with much. Here is what a google shopping search pulled up (eBay came up empty), the first being "unavailable" for purchase once you add it to your shopping cart and the second costing only $150! I could easily buy a new (used) mac with the card installed in it for that much!
    As for the PCI slot cards you are trying, keep in mind that you are trying to use current cards which didn't exist back in the day your Mac and OS were made...... I have Asante 10/100 PCI cards in some of that generation mac and they work fine but then they were supported by the OS.
    Good point. Even back when I purchased it, the card seemed a bit of a long-shot to me, too. However, being on sale for $15, I thought, "why not at least try?". Unfortunately, I came up with the results above. However, you have given me a good idea. I realize from reading a few posts around here on the issue that it is a good idea to keep the pci slot of the computer open on this computer until there is a need to upgrade, let's say, for a graphics card. However, what if I have no future plans to add anything (as is currently)? Is it really that necessary that I keep the slot open? I'm sure it would be exponentially easier to find a card for that.
    A long shot might be to try loading OS 9.0.4 and see if you get lucky as 8 is pretty old plus there's a part of me that wonders with such a slow bus and cpu that 100T is going to make a big difference.
    Kevin
    Thank you for the suggestion, but that's how I collected the information for the card in the first place. The Performa 6360 didn't seem to take the card, so I popped it in to my Beige G3 running Mac OS 9.2.2 and hoped it might work on that. Same problem, however, the Apple System Profiler is much more thorough on that OS, so I was able to acquire the card's information. The reason for the 100-BaseT Ethernet, again, is not solely based on that one computer; It's the fact that I would prefer the network to run at the faster speed and with four macs currently on it, with a few more modern ones such as the iBook G3 shown below, the speed is a nice thing to have.
    So, on that note, any suggestions for a PCI equivalent? Has Apple ever made any? If so, where could I find them at a reasonable (Read: Not $150) price?
    Thanks again.

  • My Cable Company says my Ethernet Card is Dead

    Hi, after a lightning storm my High Speed Internet connection stopped working. The Cable company says my Ethernet Card is dead. But my understanding of my G4 Power Mac architecture is that it has built in 10BaseT support and there is no separate card. If true, might I still have a burned out driver for the Ethernet plug on the back of the computer? Alternately, might lack of Ethernet be caused by corrupted software which could be fixed by re-intalling?

    If you dont already have one, get a utility like macTCPing.
    Are you also using a router, or are you direct connected to the cable modem?
    Are your modem lights flashing slow (1/sec) or fast?
    at 1 per second or less, then the modem is not talking to the cable company.
    Are you getting a connection light on the modem indicating a valid signal from the Mac?
    Reset your modem. (Remove from power, wait a few minutes, reconnect) There may also be a reset button on it.
    ping 127.0.0.1
    If that succeeds
    you have passed local loopback.
    check your IP configuration.
    ping your own IP address.
    if it works, then your ethernet port is probably OK.
    if it fails, release and renew your ip address, and try again.
    if that works,
    ping the modem or your gateway address
    if this fails, then reset the modem and try again.
    if it fails, the modem is likely the problem
    If it works
    ping any web site.
    if it works, you are set.
    if it fails, then ping the name servers for your ISP.
    if those fail, then there is an issue with the ISP and its NS, which is beyond your control.
    They are hard to find, but there were a couple of companys that made PCI ethernet cards for Mac.

  • PCI Gigabit Ethernet Cards

    Anyone have experience with PCI gigabit ethernet cards for use with Linux?
    What I am looking for is a good one to go in a firewall box (P3 450 MHz) that won't take too much cpu to run it.  A good 10/100 ethernet card that uses the tulip driver will saturate the net with very little cpu usage.  The $10 TrendNet 10/100/1000 that I have tried saturates the cpu at only 5 MB per sec transfer. 

    Is there something wrong with the built-in interface
    or do you want to trunk/bond interfaces or route
    between interfaces?
    Just experimenting…
    The interface that Apple had in G4 Xserves (Broadcomm
    chipset) 64 bit PCI would perhaps be a good buy if
    you can find it (available as spare part?).
    http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/OSX/osx_networkcards.html
    Thanks a lot for the link and the Broadcomm chipset hint.
    Meanwhile, I found that the Realtek website features a driver download for Mac OS X 10.4 and Ethernet cards with the 8169S-32 chipset (the one featured by the Digicom card tested).
    I think I'll give it a try and let you know how it goes.

  • 2nd ethernet card problems

    Hi all, I have an G4 MDD that I'm running 10.4 server and am trying to add a 2nd ethernet card to no avail. I tried adding a Dlink and then tried a Linksys card. Upon restarting from installing the drivers, both times I got a message stating that the install was not installed properly, and therefore the mac was not reading the card. Has anyone had this issue or any ideas. I am at a complete loss. Thanks.
    -wes

    There was an update to PCI ethernet controllers on
    www.xlr8yourmac.com yesterday.
    Were there drivers? did you repair permissions? did it complain that the extension or startupitem needed to be 'fixed?'
    When adding or removing a PCI card, I have never seen or had the need to reset PMU. but I have and do need to reset nvram and insure nvram is current and the device tree is rebuilt.
    I've also read of complaints about D-Link, mostly routers lately.

  • Driver wanted for SE/30 Ethernet Card (Cnet CN470E)

    I have a beautiful SE/30 which has a CNet Technology CN470E network card in it. I think the reason i can not get it networked is that it needs a driver for its Ethernet card, and i could not find it on the net. It would be so great if someone could share it with me! Thanks!

    Hello, thanks for caring! The case seems to be this: this card, as well as many other ethernet cards are supported by the Mac OS from 7.5 and above (drivers are embedded upon factory install even for 3rd party cards), and the previous versions could have these genuine Apple "drivers". However, when you acquire the original installs, the custom drivers may be more efficient, eg using larger cache buffers that leads to faster operation and so forth.
    It might be not obvious for those who not use classic OS on a daily basis that:
    1) IP addresses don't get shown instantly like they do in OS-X. It will get the DHCP configuration when starting a browser
    2) I personally could not get Appletalk sharing files, which was another bag of hurt, as sending files over FTP is not straightforward (you have to stuff them, etc which is really painful to get a working version of the ancient software to do it).
    3) configuring the OS is nothing like you can see in the tutorials on the web. one may discover soon that there are no certain control panels, and such.
    I wish i could go back to 7.01 or 7.1 for a faster operation, but im not crazy Figuring this out took a whole night already...

  • Good graphics cards for Gigabit Ethernet PowerMac?

    Yesterday I ordered a 400 MHz (single processor, of course) Gigabit Ethernet PowerMac running OS 9.2.2 (most likely being upgraded to 10.3 in the future, and then 10.4 if I can get a good enough processor upgrade). I plan on giving it a pretty good deal of upgrades, the graphics card among them. I've researched it, but I'm not clear on how to know which graphics cards would be compatible and which ones wouldn't. Whether you can clear that up for me or simply recommend some good cards, I'd appreciate the help.
    I want to spend $150 at the most on a good card, but I'm flexible. Thank you!

    Hi-
    The best available graphics card for the Gigabit Ethernet is a Radeon 9800 Pro.
    No need to spend extra for the 256MB model, as the 128MB model usually benchmarks faster.
    Look around eBay, and you should find one for $100-$120.
    Make sure that the card you buy is stated as Mac compatible.
