After installing ethernet controller driver, Solaris 10 refuses to boot

Hi guys!
I just installed Solaris 10 8/07 on a Compaq SR5250NX. Install went smoothly with no issues. When I got into the system, I noticed that it didn't install a driver for my Ethernet controller, which is a Realtek RTLS series. I downloaded the Realtek provided drivers and followed their install instructions, modifying the Install script to use the correct PCI ID of the card. The Installer said that it installed correctly. Following their instructions, I created /etc/hostname.rtls0, issued "touch /reconfigure" and then shutdown the machine. Upon attempting to reboot, it hangs right after printing "Use is subject to copyright laws." Sometimes it just hangs and sits there, and other times it reboots itself, only to repeat the cycle.
Not sure if it matters, but Solaris loads a 64 bit kernel, and, as far as I know, the Realtek drivers are 32 bit.
Firstly I need to get the system booted, and then I'd like to get the network interface up. What steps should I take to get the system running again?
Please excuse my ignorance, I've not used Solaris for a very long time...
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this.

Well, it turns out I read the card model number wrong initially. It's actually a RTL8101E, which Realtek doesn't provide Solaris drivers for. Instead, I need to install the 'gani' 2.x series of free drivers.
I should be able to fix the system by uninstalling the improper driver, correct? Any tips, hints, or pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Satellite A100-773 - How to install Ethernet Controller driver?

Hi
i reinstalled Win Xp Prof on my Satelite A100-773 (PSAA9E) and have a problem with the Ethernet Controller. In the device manager the controller is marked with a yellow '?'.
I use this driver http://de.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=DE&selCategory =2&selFamily=2&selSeries=153&selProduct=624&selSho rtMod=444&language=17&selOS=10&selType=all&yearupl oad=&monthupload=&dayupload=&useDate=null&mode=all Machines&search=&action=search&macId=&country=12&s electedLanguage=17&type=all&page=2&ID=55434&OSID=1 0&driverLanguage=42
install it over the device manager and right click on ethernetcontroller --- driver install. here comes the message that no driver is found (in the right!!! folder) an nothing can be insatlled...
I also delete ethernet controller, so that windows automatic reseacht for it, but nothing work.
I don't knwo what I can do
PS: Chipset Utilitys are installed

Hi
Are you sure thats the Ethernet controller and not the WLAN card? Ethernet controller in device manager can mean both
Normally you can get all drivers on the Toshiba website. Furhtermore you should try to install the drivers manual via advanced installation routine. If you right click on the ethernet controller and choose update driver. In next windows choose the advanced installation where you can choose the driver directory yourself.
By the way: Why you dont use the Toshiba recovery disk? There are already all drivers preinstalled. :)

Slow Internet Connection Speeds caused by Ethernet Controller Driver

Problem: Internet connection speeds are 1/10 of available connection speed.
1. Problem statement is based on running speed tests at cnet, speedtest.net, and AT&T.
2. I am paying for 12 MBps down load speed but I only get about 1.5 MBps.
3. Other computers in household get 11+ MBps connected to the same ethernet cable and also different ethernet cables.
4. I traced the problem to the network controller driver.
5. I updated to the latest driver with no change in performance.
6. After some experimenting I found that if I re-install the driver after the computer is booted up, the internet connection down load speeds increase to 11+ MBpS (typically around 11.4 with maximum capability of 12)
I have assumed that the driver does not load properly the first time, but why? Or is there some other cause or setting that I have overlooked?

Dv6809wm nvidia Ethernet Controller driver help me please.

My notebook is a dv6809wm. I am Korean, but also the This is South Korea.
After installing Windows 7, nvidia Ethernet Controller, driver can not find.
Windows xp, Vista, 7, installed it several times, nvidia Ethernet Controller driver can not find. Chipset nvidia 630a, installing, and even install sp37730, the Internet should not.
What should I do? You help me please.

This used to be a sticky post but should have your answers. Install the AMD chipset driver for the dv65zz and higher AMD models. This is a Vista driver and may have to be run in compatibility mode but will provide ethernet functionality:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/Windows-7-Upgrade-Guide-for-dv6...
It is a long post but the AMD chipset driver is near the top. I see you already tried SP37730 and it is not working for you so you may have to do a manual install by pointing the driver installer to the subfolder where sp37730 unzips, containing the ethernet and make it take the ethernet driver .inf file.
You may also want to try one of these drivers:
http://www.win-raid.com/t15f37-NVIDIA-Optimized-nForce-Driverpacks-for-Vista-Win.html
Use the ones labelled: 3. "Special MCP65-67 nForce Driverpacks for Vista/Win7"
Post back if you need more help with this.

Satellite A100 Ethernet Controller driver

I can't find the ethernet controller driver and the PCI device in the list. I tried LAN driver (Intel Pro 10) and (Intel Pro 100) but they have no setup file, only uninstall files. Any idea?
Message was edited by: footplant

Do you see INF files? You may need to manually install the driver.
Go into Device Manager and select the LAN device. Update its driver and point it to the folder where the INF file resides.

NotificationExec pop-up after installing Free Agent Drive Manager

I've just installed the Free Agent Drive Manager for a Maxtor 4 One Touch. Now I'm getting a NotificationExec pop-up after installing Free Agent Drive Manager. I've trashed the drive manager but I can't seem to get rid of the pop up. Any suggestions?

Hi Todd,
That's incompatible software, and from reading other posts, it sounds like even the official uninstaller does not get rid of everything. Do a Spotlight search for file name "NotificationExec" and "Free Agent Drive Manager" and include system and invisible files. Trash the files you find, empty your trash and you should be good to go.

Is the Mac set to sleep the drive after 10 minutes or so?
What are the other symptoms with regards to your freeze? Does the screen go dark? Is the clock still running?

Ethernet controller driver not installing after Windows Server 2008 installation on Cisco UCS blade

I am using MDT 2010 to deploy Windows Server 2008 to a Cisco UCS B200 blade. The OS and hotfixes install with no problem. The system reboots and attempts to connect to the deployment share to continue with the task sequence and I receive an error stating
"A connection to the deployment share could not be made. The following networking device did not have a driver installed. PCI\VEN_1137&DEV_0043&SUBSYS_00481137&REV_A2"
The driver in question is the driver for the Ethernet controller for the UCS blade. More specifically, it is the network driver for the Palo card in the UCS Chassis. When I Ignore or Abort the install, I am able to manually install the driver and restart the
task sequence. The build then completes successfully with no further issue. I just cannot seem to automate the driver install. Has anyone dealt with this type of issue?

Vik and stealthfield - thank you for your responses.
I was preparing a script to manually move the driver into the c:\windows\inf location when I had to stop to create a new task sequence for a different build. It was while building this task sequence that I found the soulution to the problem.
In the Post Install -> Inject Drivers step of the Task Sequence, I noticed that it was executing a command of type "Inject Drivers" with a selection profile of "All Drivers" and "Install only matching drivers
from the selection profile" selected.
I changed this to run a command of type "Run Command Line" and specified that it execute "%Scriptroot%\ZTIdrivers.wsf". I noticed that this was selected in one of my other builds that was working properly, so I thought I'd
give it a try. - IT WORKED.
So to sum up, the solution was to change the type of command being executed in the "Post Install -> Inject Drivers" step of the task sequence. After this change, the machine came up and continued the task sequence with no further issues.
Thanks again for the responses - They were helpful and I do appreciate it.

Ethernet Controller - Driver not installed - Compaq Presario

Hello, I am new here so be gentle
I have just bought second hand a Compaq Presario 6240EA, motherboard is a Compaq 07D0h.
In the hardware - device manager, it shows 'Other devices' - Ethernet Controller, with a large yellow question mark and exclamation mark.
Details in properties show the following: drivers for this device are not installed (Code 28)
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_01C3&SUBSYS_00A80E11&REV_C2\3&13C0B0C5&0&20
I have search the HP and Compaq websites for driver downloads and have downloaded all the nVidia drivers available on the Compaq site, none of which improve the situation.
Would there be somewhere else to look, I am at my wits end with this, any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you in anticipation.
This question was solved.

Please start your own thread rather than opening old ones back up. Also provide your full model number particularly when asking about hardware function which may involve drivers. We have to know precisely what hardware we are dealing with. Like the posts above, you may want to include the hardware id of the affected device.

LAN connection not working/Ethernet controller driver missing

I got a new hard drive and installed a clean copy of windows 7 on it. After dealing with a few problems I finally had it up and running. I transferred via usb and installed drivers from http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-500-Desktop-PC-series/7779690/model/8154137#Z7_3054ICK0KGTE30AQO5O3KA30R1. Every thing is working except for my LAN connection. I can connect to wifi however. In device manager I have a ! next to ethernet controller. Had ! on a bunch more before installing other drivers. In network adapter settings there is no listed Local Area Connection. What do I need to get my Lan connection working again?

Hi: The support page for your model indicates you need this ethernet driver... This package provides the Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller Driver for supported models running a supported operating system. File name: sp71102.exe You have to manually install this driver. Run the file and then go to the device manager. Click on the ethernet controller needing drivers. Click on the driver tab. Click on Update driver. Select the Browse my computer for driver software option and browse to the driver folder that was created when you ran the file. That folder should be located in C:\SWSetup\sp71102. Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked, and the driver should install.
