How to install a network card on Solaris 10

Hi to all,
I have installed for the first time Solaris 10 on i386 system.
All went fine. Although Solaris did not found the PCI network card, is this normal?
How can I install the (Realtek) network card;
Thank you.
Costas.

Thank you Zettabyte!!
Folks, network printers should NOT BE configured like this:
lpadmin -p somequeue -s someprinter
that creates a remote style queue and puts all the I/O and processing capability on the basic LPD listener present on network printer interfaces. This will cause problems down the road, not to mention that you cannot control access, get any logging, filter content, or control banner pages.
Network printers should use any software (or PPD file) supplied by the vendor over the basic lpadmin/netstandard config.
You can install CUPS, but Oracle won't support it until it's part of the OS (S11, apparently).
The "System Administration Guide: Solaris Printing" is highly recommended for those administering printers on Solaris.

  • Install network card on solaris 8 x86 10/1

    Hi
    how can I install my netwoek card on solaris 8 x86
    Thank a lot

    In the same way you install any other card. Plug the card in
    the slot., and install the appropriate solaris driver for that
    network card. May be you want to detail the problem, if this
    is not you are looking for.
    Thx

  • Can anyone tell me how to install a network printer driver without having the network printer online?

    Can anyone tell me how to install a network printer driver without having the network printer online? It doesn't matter what manufactors make the network printers. Is a netwaork printer(with network card) has to have that printer on line to be able to install
    the driver? This is the point of my question!
    I've ask a same type of question previously, but I can't either get good answer nor reply on the response.

    DP
    The computer (and driver) have to handshake with the printer, QED it has to be either online or physically connected and if it is physically connected it wont work on the network so yes it does.

  • Installing network card in solaris 7 intel version

    hai,
    i installed solaris 7 in a intel platform. but the network card is not getting recoganised. the card is Compex Readlink RL2000 pci card. how i will configure it. please help me.
    shibin

    If the card is not recognized, then it's probably unsupported by solaris.
    Either you can get a solaris 7 driver from the card's vendor, or you
    get a new nic that is support under solaris 7.

  • Installing new network card...how?

    The built in ethernet on my computer does not appear to be working. How do I get the Mac to see a new network card once i plug it into the board? Same for a sound card. I know that the built in sound is bad.
    I have extensive knowledge of these processes for a PC, but not at all for a Mac. A PC will automatically detect new hardware, but the Mac doesn't appear to see it.
    Thanks for any help.

    There aren't a lot of PCI Ethernet cards supported natively in OS X, and even then those that are usually still need a driver installed for them to function. D-Link is the only one I know off-hand that markets a 10/100 card billed as Mac-compatible. A Mac-compatible generic sound card will be even harder to track down.. the only ones I know of are very expensive ones aimed at digital audio production.

  • Installing RT2500 Network Card

    I need to install a driver for my RT2500 PCI wireless network card on my Solaris 10.
    So I went to the ralink website (the manufacturer of the network card), and downloaded the linux (well supposedly the unix driver) binary file. Burned it to dvd, and copied from the dvd to my solaris computer.
    So on the solaris computer, the *.tar.gz file (the binary driver file that I downloaded) is currently in root directory ('cause it's convenient to keep it there for now).
    Now how do I install it and configure it? I have tried googling... I haven't found much information that I can understand and confidently execute. I'm sorry, but I'm new to using Unix system. All the tar.gz file is new and I don't know what to do with them.
    And even if I have installed it, I am yet to configure it I believe, so I would need help on that. Could someone help me?
    Thank you in advance.

    I went to the opensolaris.org website and downloaded their supplied driver (from http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/laptop/wireless/ral/;jsessionid=D8C7920F852AE510DEC1EC4D801B719C)
    I placed the download into my root directory. (I am completely new to solaris, I don't even know which files should be where on the file system. So I place the download in the general area - the root directory.)
    I could gunzip it with the command: gzip -d <filename>Then I untar it with: tar -xvf <filename>And then unpackage it with opensolaris suggested command: pkgadd -d . SUNWralAll these process were successful.
    When I followed the next command: ifconfig ral0 plumbIt said: ifconfig: plumb: ral0: no such interfaceSo I am guessing ral0 is a variable. How do I know or find out what the variable is to substitute into that command?
    I did notice that at the botom right hand corner of my Java Desktop there is a network icon. When I put my mouse over it, it says: Network Connection: lo0Is this the variable I am looking for to substitute where ral0 is?
    I tried that with command: ifconfig lo0 plumbNo errors, it just returns to a new prompt. I guess that works.
    But where to from here?
    This is my situation. I have a RT2500 wireless pci network card. I want to connect to the home router so I can access to the internet. I have necessary networking details on the router such as: DNS, subnet mask and etc...
    I manage to get a driver off opensolaris and installed it.
    1. Now, how do I configure my solaris system to connect to the home router such that I have access to the internet?
    2. Where should I put the installation files? Maybe somewhere in /etc or /dev ? I have no idea. But it doesn't feel right putting it in the root directory.
    Note that I am only a native window user. I need quite detail instructions otherwise, I will still be clueless and stuck with the problem.
    If I don't have help to set up my network card and acces to the internet, I might as well format all of solaris.
    Thank you in advance.

  • Installing Intel Network Card

    Hi all,
    How do I install an Intel Network card into a solaris 9 x86 platform?
    Thank

    First of all, I do not see the nic when I run the command prtconf -v | grep pci8086That's possible, because you may have got an oem version of the intel hardware, and the vendor ID from
    someone else (let's say Compaq / HP, or Toshiba, or ... -- and not Intel) appears in the device's name.
    Have a look at the "prtconf -pv" output, search for devices with a "class-code" of "00020000" (= PCI Ethernet
    controller). The vendor-id/device-id pair of that entry should identify it as an intel gigabit nic. At this time,
    Solaris 10 x86 (b63) supports lots of variants of the intel gbit hardware:
    # grep e1000g /etc/driver_aliases
    e1000g "pci8086,1000"

  • How  to configure the network on Sun Solaris 8

    The Sun workstation is a license server, and Window NT workstation need to access the license file that located in the sun workstation.
    Now the Window NT workstation cannot connect with the sun solaris, and I guess that I need to configure the network on Sun Solaris 8.
    Could you please tell me how to do that step by step?
    If there is the system tool like the window system to configure the network easily and quickly.
    I appreciate it.
    Mark

    If your sun system is working then probably it has network configured already .You can check it by the following command on the sun.
    ifconfig -a
    Generally applications asks where license server is located and you need to give the ip-address or host name only . Application docs will give more detail about it.
    You can get ip-address from ifconfig comand above.
