Forcing 100MBs on ethernet card on Solaris 8

How can you force 100 MBs on an ethernet card on Solaris 8? How can you check whether your changes were made? Thank you in advance.

Add the following line to /kernel/drv/iprb.conf. If it does not exists create one.
ForceSpeedDuplex=4,4,4;
# This will force speed and duplex for a typical NIC instance. It
# is an array so the first value sets instance #0, the second
# instance #1 etc...
# 1 will set it to 10 Mbps half duplex.
# 2 will set it to 10 Mbps full duplex.
# 3 will set it to 100 Mbps half duplex.
# 4 will set it to 100 Mbps full duplex.
# 5 will be the default value for Autonegotiation. If not provided, 5 will be used.

  • Installing RealTek ethernet card in solaris 7 sparc machine

    I inserted RealTek ethernet card in my Solaris-7 Sparc machine. But to work it properly ,need to install driver for the card. I searched a lot but i did't get the driver to download . I have read from some sites that the driver for solaris 7 sparc is not avaliable.How can i solve this problem.?
    Anybody please help me to solve the problem.

    You can try a NIC driver from RealTek, directly.
    http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/
    ... but for a SPARC system? That may be problematic.
    Does OBP see the device? Use show-devs at the OK prompt.
    If it isn't seen at OBP's elementary hardware level, the OS will never use it.
    If it is recognized at OBP, then try the manufacturer's drivers.

  • G5 Can't See Gigabit Ethernet Card

    Some months back, I installed a gigabit ethernet card into my G5. It worked fine for a few months, then stopped working with a message: The cable for PCI Ethernet Slot 3, Port 2 is not plugged in. I wasn't working on the project that required that connection, so I just let it go. Now I need to connect to a different gigabit switch. I installed a new D-Link card into the same slot as before - same result. I moved the D-Link card to a different slot - and got the same error - still referring to Slot 3. Just for kicks, I installed the old card back into slot 2 (the one above the video card). Same error - and no mention of finding two cards or of anything in the other slots. It seems as if somehow all of the PCI slots are being ignored.
    Running the System Profiler, I get a "No Information Found" for PCI Cards. None of the lights on either ethernet card come on. Any ideas? Everything else on the machine seems to be working correctly - the built-in ethernet is fine. There are a lot of drives connected to the system (4 on the FireWire 800, 1 on FW 400, 4 on USB). Is there some way to force a re-scan of the PCI bus? or turn it on?
    Thanks!!

    Thomas -
    Yes - I tried swapping slots. A gigabit card worked fine in slot 3 for several months. It stopped working - I figured it was the card that was th eproblem. I have since replaced the card, and then moved the new one to a different slot. The Network control panel still reports a card in slot 3, even though there is nothing in slot 3. The new card is in slot 4 (and just for kicks the old card is in slot 2). Neither of these is recognized by the the System Profiler or the network control panel.

  • Pcmcia ethernet card on compaq notebook

    Hi can any one tell which Pcmcia ehrnet card supports for solaris x86 intel on notebook .....
    I am using compaq presario1200 notebook and had netgearpc card which is not working with solaris 8
    appreciated for the help

    I finally got PCMCIA to work.  But it was a battle. 
    My ethernet card DLINK DFE-690 TXD will NOT work with Arch 0.7.  (It does work when using the Arch 0.7  Installation CD but after installation, it does not work). 
    I tried everything.  (e.g. disabling almost everything in rc.conf and the config scripts).  I even tried manually inserting the modules using modprobe. And then running dhcpcd.  But dhcpcd failed since the ethernet PCMCIA card was "BUSY". 
    I found the BUG!  The problem is with the 2.6.10 kernel that the arch 0.7 CD installs.  In other words, the stock IDE or SCSI kernels that come with the 0.7 installation CD's are buggy.
    I reinstalled arch usng FTP install.  (arch 0.7.1 is then installed with a newer kernel 2.6.13).  Arch 0.7.1 was able to properly detect and setup my PCMCIA card and get networking going. 
    I did NOT enable the pcmcia or hotplug daemons in rc.conf.  You do NOT need to.  They automatically get set up in the loadng modules stage (where some auto detection is being done). 
    So if anyone else is having problems, just use the FTP installation which installs arch 0.7.1 and a newer kernel 2.6.13.

  • Installing nfo-1.1.2 ethernet driver in Solaris 10 3/05

    Hi,
    I'm totally new to Solaris and need to install this ethernet driver but I don't know how to do it.
    If you can help me, please do it in a step-by step manner because as I said, besides being dumb I'm also new to Solaris. My processor is an AMD ATHLON 64.
    By the way I like the looks of this OS, the way it boots up, and its security and reliability.
    Thank you very much for your help.

    Thanks,
    The tutorial did not help me much. Acccording to the author of the driver this is what I have to do in order to compile it:
    CAUTION: There is NO WARRANTY for this software.
    As this software is loaded into the kernel, it might cause the kernel to
    panic or hang.
    Masayuki Murayama

    1. Introduction
    This is the nForce ethernet NIC driver for Solaris. It is distributed
    under the BSD license.
    2. Specification of the driver
    File name of the driver: /kernel/drv/nfo
    Special file name: /dev/nfoN (Where N is a unit number, typcally 0 for first
    card)
    For example
    % ifconfig nfo0
    Tested OS version
    Solaris10 x86 3/05
    Tested mainboard
    Biostar NF4UL-A9 (nVIDIA nForce4 CH8-04 Ultra chipset)
    3. Preparing for installation
    (1) Copy source and binary files.
    # gunzip -cd nfo-x.x.x.tar.gz | tar xf -
    (2) Add hostname for the NIC into /etc/hosts file
    (3) Make links to the correct binary directory and Makefile according
    to your configuration. i386 and gcc are default.
    % cd /.../nfo-x.x.x
    % rm obj Makefile
    % ln -s Makefile.${KARCH}_${COMPILER} Makefile
    % ln -s ${KARCH} obj
    where ${KARCH} is the result of `isainfo -n`, and ${COMPILER} is
    "gcc" or "suncc" which you want to use to make the driver.
    (4) Making binaries (only for re-compiling the drivers by your self)
    To make the binaries, you need Sun C compiler or gcc version 3, and do
    the following operations.
         % /usr/ccs/bin/make
    4. Testing
    Testing before installation is strongly recommended.
    # cd /.../nfo-x.x.x
    # /usr/ccs/bin/make install
    # ./adddrv.sh
    # /usr/ccs/bin/make uninstall (for solaris7, don't remove the file )
    # modload obj/nfo
    # devfsadm -i nfo (for solaris7, use drvconfig and reboot with -r )
    # ifconfig nfoN plumb ( where N is an instance number, typcally 0 for first card)
    # ifconfig -a ( you will see an entry for nfoN)
    # ifconfig nfoN YOUR-HOST-NAME
    # ifconfig nfoN ( ensure IP address is correct)
    # ifconfig nfoN up ( and then you can test with ping, telnet, ftp ...)
    5. Installation
    After you ensure that the nfo driver is fully functional, install it.
    (1) install the nfo driver into the kernel directory
    # cd /.../nfo-x.x.x
    # /usr/ccs/bin/make install
    If you do not test the nfo driver yet, execute the following commands:
    # ./adddrv.sh
    # devfsadm -i nfo (for solaris7, use drvconfig and reboot with -r)
    (2) Configure the network interface. Create and/or modify the following file:
    /etc/hostname.nfoN
    (3) Reboot the system.
    # init 6
    According to the author it seems that he included precompiled binaries in the file but I can't find them. Probably don't know what to look for. I have an ATHLON 64 based computer.
    The best option for me would be buying a ethernet card that's supported under solaris 10 and save the hassel of compiling the program. For experts I'm sure this would be easy, but I'm not an expert; in fact, I'm new to Solaris and don't know much about compiling software.
    Thanks.

  • Configure Network (Ethernet Cards) interfaces doubts.

    Hi All,
    I m beginner in Solaris/Unix, and I have same problems in configure my network.
    I have one machine with 2 Ethernet Cards, this machine has multiboot, than it have Solaris 10 and Windows XP.
    I will show the configuration that I have on Window,I need the same configuration in Solaris:
    In eth0:
    IP: 192.168.0.117 (In Solaris the name of this is in ifconfig is IP, OK?)
    Mask: 255.255.255.0 (In Solaris the name of this is in ifconfig is
    netmaks , OK?)
    Gatway: 192.168.0.254 (In Solaris the name of this is in ifconfig broadcast, OK?)
    Primary DNS: 192.168.0.254 (In Solaris I don�t know how configure this)
    Secondary DNS: void (In Solaris I don�t know how configure this)
    I Have an DHCP Server in 192.168.0.254, than I can use dhcp.
    The problems, When I try use DHCP:
    Ifconfg eth0 DHCP
    This command delay and return an Error.
    If Itry configure manually, like
    Ifconfg eth0 192.168.0.117 (this OK)
    Ifconfg eth0 netmask 255.255.255.0 (this OK)
    Ifconfg eth0 broadcast 192.168.0.254 (here the 254 is changed to 255 that is broadcast default, but in my net broad cast or router is in 254)
    Other thing how I save this configuration. When I restart I lost all changes�
    Well in second interface the problem is same, but I didn�t have DHCP:
    IP: 200.44.136.145 (In Solaris the name of this is in ifconfig is IP, OK?)
    Mask: 255.255.255.192 (In Solaris the name of this is in ifconfig is netmaks , OK?)
    Gatway: 200.44.136.129 (In Solaris the name of this is in ifconfig broadcast, OK?)
    Primary DNS: 4.2.2.2 (In Solaris I don�t know how configure this)
    Secondary DNS: void (In Solaris I don�t know how configure this)
    fconfg eth1 200.44.136.145 (here .44 is changed to 36)
    Any one can help-me please?
    Thanks

    yes. you got it .... eg..
    /etc/hostname.le0
    /etc/hostname.le1
    in here put the hostname ... so at the shell prompt:
    # hostname <cr>
    should give your hostname.
    now, in the hosts file: eg:
    # Internet host table
    127.0.0.1     localhost     
    <your ip address> <your hostname>     loghost
    129.156.89.252 host2
    you need to reboot after this.
    if you get a 'bad address' error on boot,
    you probably have a mismatch of hostnames/ip addresses somewhere in their respective files.
    also, see:
    # man hosts
    # man ifconfig

  • Ethernet card not found?

    Hello all
    I'm new to Solaris. I have Solaris 8 for the intel platform and installed it successfully on an amd processor but it does not go out to my network. I can not ping my router or access the internet with the box. How can I tell if Solaris picked up my ethernet card <linksys 10/100 PCI> during installation and if it did not what possible steps would I have to talk in order to connect this box to my router and the network. Anyone can help?
    Thanks all,

    If Solaris detected the card at install, when it was defining your system, it would've asked for an IP address, whether you wanted to run DNS etc., and whether you were on a subnet, prompting for the subnet mask if you replied 'yes.'
    Network cards seem to be the great jumping-off point for Solaris on the PC platform. I am trying desperately to find a NIC that 2.5.1 likes.
    Good luck.

  • Two elxl ethernet cards - need to hardcode speed/duplex on one but not the other

    Hello,
    I am running Solaris 8 IA, and have two 3com Ethernet cards. One (elxl1) is a 10Base-T card that is used to connect to my cable modem, and the other (elxl0) is a 100Base-TX card that I use to connect to my internal network.
    I had been using a crossover cable to connect elxl0 to my Windows machine (my Solaris box is running ipfilter for firewalling and NAT), and it worked perfectly. I purchased a Linksys switch, and get about 90% packet loss when the two machines are connected to it.
    What I'm thinking is that I need to hardcode the speed and duplex settings of elxl0. Of course, I'd prefer to set it to 100/Full, but if I edit elxl.conf, the settings take effect for both cards, and causes elxl1 to not function, since it is not capable of running at 100/Full.
    Is there a way to tell the OS that I want to set elxl0 to 100/Full without affecting elxl1?
    A response here or via e-mail at [email protected] would be greatly appreciated.

    maybe a driver configuration bug? Does modinfo show two instances of the driver??
    Does man ndd offer any help?

  • Default state on ethernet card in Cisco 3640

    Could someone confirm that the default state of an ethernet card is half-duplex and that is it not possible to configure these cards as auto-sensing .
    Thanks

    Hello Mary,
    First of all I assume that you are talking about the old "ethernet 10BT" modules and not about the more recent 10/100Mb versions. The latter do support auto negotiation and for the ethernet modules I remember a forum-thread for a few years ago. Bottom of the line was that the ability to support full duplex was not only depending on the hardware but also on the IOS version. Please also check the URL below:

  • Configuring RTL8019 Ethernet Card

    If you are searching the registry, check for the "Senforce" string. It should be at HKLM\Software\Senforce
    Try running the install program for the ZSC with the following command line:
    setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1"
    If you've specified an uninstall password, try this one instead:
    setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1 STUIP=password"" (please note the double quote at the end)
    Let me know if that helped you.

  • Ethernet card no longer showing in ifconfig [solved]

    Hey,
    Normally I don't have any problems with my networking, but this morning my wireless decided not to work. I haven't made made any changes in the past couple of days, so unsure what has caused it. Last Syu was on Thursday and every day including up until last night was fine.
    So spent a while trying stuff out and stressing my tiny little brain for ideas, quick version is I did this:
    netcfg: said interface didn't exist.
    ifconfig: didn't list the interface (wireless is usually eth1)
    lsmod: confirmed the module (ipw2200) was loaded
    lspci: confirmed the card was there
    After copying the output of the above commands plus the obligatory rc.conf onto usb to move to this machine (and just before pushing <submit> on a much larger post than this :-) I decided to check the mac address listed in ifconfig with what is on the sticker under my machine. Voila! My wireless has actually moved to eth0. OK, that's that solved. (Wish I checked that first though...)
    But that means that the reason that my wireless card is now eth0 instead of eth1 is because my old-skool wired ethernet card is no longer there to be numero 0. Why isn't it working? lsmod shows that the tg3 module is loading (it's an Intel card with Broadcom chipset in a Thinkpad T43) , but it no longer shows up in ifconfig. lspci is not showing it (see below), only the wireless card comes up. Does this mean the hardware is borken? What else can I do to check the card?

    Yeah, doesn't give me anything about the ethernet card, but does show the wireless one. No, hang on, just found it. Hmmm, didn't see it before, but I was grepping for 'net' then.
    $ dmesg | grep -i eth
    eth1: Tigon3 [partno(BCM95751M) rev 4101] (PCI Express) MAC address 00:12:34:56:78:9a
    eth1: attached PHY is 5750 (10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet) (WireSpeed[1])
    eth1: RXcsums[1] LinkChgREG[0] MIirq[0] ASF[0] TSOcap[1]
    eth1: dma_rwctrl[76180000] dma_mask[64-bit]
    OK, so it is at eth1 now, that makes sense since I put ipw2200 right at the beginning and tg3 right at the end of the MODULES array in rc.conf to avoid the system getting crossed up while trying load them too close together. Thanks B, so at least we know something is happening at boot time.
    Btw, my assumption is that ifconfig shows hardware once it is loaded correctly, is that right? But apart from the modules, what else do I need to do to get it showing up in ifconfig?

  • Ethernet Card Not being Detected on my iMac 27Inch (Mid2010)

    Hello,
    I have only had my iMac for a couple of months, and it appears to have developed a fault. I have a network router, and a network cable is plugged in however, the Network Panel keeps reading as "Cable: Unplugged". It is not, i can assure you.
    When I got into the About This Mac > System Profiler, it has "This computer does not appear to have any PCI Ethernet cards installed." under the Ethernet Card option
    I'm currently on Wireless (very skechty), and that also keeps dropping out even though the router is less a foot from the iMac.
    Any Solutions or Advise please?
    Thanks Phill C

    I have the same problem after I installed LION on my imac 27" (Late 2010). It was working for few days and then after I restarted my computer my network card just went dead. Since I have several partitions I can boot back to Snow Leopard and it shows me ethernet just fine. So it means that LION has bugs and many bugs from what I can tell. It is wide spread problem and not sure if apple is doing anything about htis.

  • Ethernet card issue...can't get rid of self-assigned IP

    Hi folks,
    I am using an circa 2005 iMac G5 PPC desktop with 10.5.8. I am trying to connect the iMac to my Time Capsule via ethernet cable, but seem to be having problems with my ethernet card. When I plug into the TC ethernet port, the TC drive, does not mount and I cannot access the worldwide web.
    When I go to System Preferences --> Networking, the tab on the left for ethernet connection shows a green dot, says "self-assigned IP" and the status says "connected" PRIOR TO CONNECTING THE ETHERNET CABLE TO THE TIME CAPSULE. It shows a "self-assigned" IP (DHCP selected) of 169.254.69.249, even though I know my TC is 10.0.1.1.  Turning the ethernet off then back on, renewing the DHCP lease, nothing seems to be able to make this 169 IP address go away. The wireless connection to the TC is just fine... everything does what it should, I just can't get the ethernet cable connection to work.
    Out of curriosity, I went to the System Profiler, and on the network tab it shows ethernet IPv4 169.254.69.249 (name en0).
    I know it's not the Time Capsule, as I connected my laptop to it just fine via ethernet. The TC was IP 10.0.1.1 and it assigned 10.0.1.5 to my laptop (I have a variety of devices on my network), and I was able to transfer data and access the internet with no issues whatsoever.
    I live in an 32 story apartment with a built-in ethernet network and ISP included in my rent. It's pretty nice, high speed. I connect from the wall to the Time Capsule via ethernet (circle dot connection port, so I know I have the right port), and then wirelessly out to a couple of laptops, a couple of Airport Express, and of course my desktop.
    Bottom line, I think the ethernet card on iMac G5 desktop has gone bad: A few questions:
    (1) Any ideas what may be wrong? Has anyone seen this self-assigned IP thing that won't go away?
    (2) Any ideas how to fix it?
    (3) How much will it cost? It may be time to replace my 6-year old desk top computer.
    Thanks, Andy

    I've swapped out several cables still with no luck, and the current cable definitely has 8 pins and worked with my laptop, so I'm confident it's not the cable. Also, the Time Capsule seems to be OK, because it too worked with my laptop using the same port. The only variable that doesn't seem to be cooperating is my desktop computer.
    Also, I have tried to manually assign an IP consistent with the network & appropriate subnet mask. It seems to take the IP address manually, but still I can't get internet access, and can't ping the Time Capsule in network utility either.
    Finally, when I connect the desktop directly to my wall outlet, taking the router out of the equation entirely, network diagnostics shows ethernet failure...
    Does that sound like a bad ethernet card?
    What does it take to replace an ethernet card in an iMac G5?
    Cheers, Thanks, Andy
