Install RTL8139 driver in Solaris 10
Dear All,
I am new to solaris 10. plz explain me where can i get RTL8139 LAN driver for solaris
10 and how to install the same.
Thank you in Advance.
Regards
P.Bharathiraja.
You start by looking in Sun's Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) for Solaris.
[http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/sol/|http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/sol/]
In there, you will see that you have three choices for the 8139x chipset.
You let the NIC be recognized natively during the OS installation (it just works), or you can use Realtek's driver from their web site, or you can use the third-party drivers hosted on Masayuki Murayama's site.
The downloads from Realtek and from the Murayama site include README files with instructions.

How to install NIC driver on Solaris 10?
I see the driver for my NIC, the D-Link DFE-530TX+ at this site
http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/
It talked about this NIC on choice #4, but how do I go about installing the driver rf-1.1.0.tar.gz on Solaris 10 x86 to make this NIC work? Thanks.if it was choice number 4, then choose it.
other wise check out D-link site for unix/linux advice. maybe, I'm just a newbie myself. -
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.

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. -

Edited by: 797805 on 6/06/2012 04:48Hi All,
Looks like it was a driver / incompatibility / unsupported issue since 2 other much smaller USB keys (Lexar USB Flash Drive – 32GB, SanDisk Cruzer Colors – 4GB) were successfully mounted automatically by volfs service as follows:
# df -h

How to install lan card in solaris 11
Hi,
can some one please tell me how to install lan card in solaris nevada snv_55b X86, 5.11
When i do ifconfig -a it only displays loop back driver only
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
The other driver was missing can please some one tell me how to install that?Well, the lan card has to be one that is supported by Solaris and you need to have the proper driver installed before you'll be able to get it running. A good starting point would be to look at the Solaris Hardware Compatability List (HCL) at:
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/hcl/index.html
There is a blue box which says "Check out the X86 device list" which may be a good place to start. You won't be able to pick out Solaris version you're running for the OS type menu but if you can find the device anywhere you should at least be able to determine which driver it uses so you can check that against your system. If you don't have the driver package installed, you'll have to install it before you can see the device. If course, if the device isn't supported you're stuck. At least the HCL can help you select a new interface card which should work. -
I'm very new to Solaris and I need to install RealTek 8169 driver. How do I unzip and install? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Where did you get the driver? This page perhaps?
http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/
If so, here are the instructions for compiling and installing it:
1. Introduction
This is the Realtek RTL8169/8110 giga bit ethernt NIC driver for Solaris.
It is distributed under the BSD license.
2. Specification of the driver
File name of the driver: /kernel/drv/gani
Special file name: /dev/ganiN (Where N is a unit number, typcally 0 for first
card)
For example
% ifconfig gani0
RTL8169/8110 chipset dosn't support 1Gbpis half duplex mode.
Currently gani driver isn't stable on sparc platforms.
Tested OS version
Solaris10 x86 3/05 (Athlon 2800+ w/ VIA K8T800 chipset)
Solaris10 x86 3/05 (Athlon 3000+ w/ nVIDIA nForce4 CH8-04 Ultra chipset)
Tested cards
RTL8169s -- Planex Communications GN-1200TC
RTL8169s -- Corega CG-LAPCIGT
3. Preparing for installation
(1) Install your PCI card and boot Solaris.
(2) Copy source and binary files.
# gunzip -cd gani-x.x.x.tar.gz | tar xf -
(3) Add hostname for the NIC card into /etc/hosts file
(4) Make links to correct binary directory and Makefile according to your
configuration. i386 and gcc are default.
% cd /.../gani-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.
(5) Making binaries (only for sparc platform)
Gani driver is ready for 64bit and 32bit solaris8 10/00 sparc or
later. (But currently it is unstable on sparc platforms.)
This distribution does not include sparc binaries. 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 /.../gani-x.x.x
# /usr/ccs/bin/make install
# ./adddrv.sh
# /usr/ccs/bin/make uninstall (for solaris7, don't remove the file )
# modload obj/gani
# devfsadm -i gani (for solaris7, use drvconfig and reboot with -r )
# ifconfig ganiN plumb ( where N is an instance number, typcally 0 for first card)
# ifconfig -a ( you will see an entry for ganiN)
# ifconfig ganiN YOUR-HOST-NAME
# ifconfig ganiN ( ensure IP address is correct)
# ifconfig ganiN up ( and then you can test with ping, telnet, ftp ...)
5. Installation
After you ensure that the gani driver is fully functional, install it.
(1) install the gani driver into the kernel directory
# cd /.../gani-x.x.x
# /usr/ccs/bin/make install
If you do not test the gani driver yet, execute the following commands:
# ./adddrv.sh
# devfsadm -i gani (for solaris7, use drvconfig and reboot with -r)
(2) Configure the network interface. Create and/or modify the following file:
/etc/hostname.ganiN
(3) Reboot the system.
# init 6 -
Hello!
I have ultra10 with solaris 8 . i want to add another network card ( AMD PCnet ethernet controller) to the
system. The card is being recognised by the system but unable get its driver ...
what should i do???
pl. help me
thanks in advance...
omirahHello Flavio,
please i need a driver for Voodoo3 3000 AGP video
adapter, you have one ?No. I wrote a driver for the V2 and it's not very useful - I made it for Solaris Sparc and all you can do is a few IOCTLs and mmap the device memory into userland. The driver does work on i386 but you need the latest MMU patch. I did not have the time yet to port glide - I have something half working for sparc but I have not spend time to make it work on i386. Even with glide working you can't use X11 (one would have to write the X11 drivers and that's a whole new ball game).
How i do to install this driver ? sorry i�m begining
on Sun.If you wish to use it for X11, I would recommend to download the XFree86 binaries for Solaris, since it has support for the V3.
You can get more information about it on www.xfree86.org.
My S.O. is Sun Solaris 8 01-01 (IA) on ASUS A7V133 and
AMD K7 cpu.
Thanks to you, very much.You are welcome!

Hi,
I am looking for a 3dfx banshee driver for solaris 8. Any pointers. If none exists any pointers to how I could port the 3dfx drivers for linux and glide over to solaris 8. Can I use gcc to do my work?

Porting Solaris 7 audio driver to Solaris 8.
I am trying to load solaris 7 audio driver on solaris 8. It is not working.
Also I have recompiled drivers codes on solaris 8 still not working. Something must have changed in the audio interface from solaris 8 to solaris 7. Can anyone help me to find these changes. ThanksThis could be a big headache....but if there is a need to upgrade your OS from 7 to 8
then you should be ready for a good backup plan....meaning, if something goes wrong at any
point in the process, you could easily revert back to your old system environment.
If I were the one to do this, I will do the following.
1) I will make use of mirroring. It will be good if you could do it for the entire filesystem
of your OS and your DB.
2) Once I have a mirror, I will simply detach the other mirror and do my upgrade.
Anything goes wrong, I will simply make use of the other mirror to have my old system back.
When you upgrade your OS from 7 to 8, I had seen lots of problem where it could not complete the
process. And the reason is the size of the Filesystem for Solaris 8 specially the root requires
a big size as to any previous version. i usually just install from scratch. But the problem is if
your filesystem for the OS and Applications like your DB are crossing each other then you may have
to rebuilt your Applications too. Unless you had partition them such that they are totally separated.
When you had succesfully installed your Solaris 8, then your next headache is to make sure
all your applicatiions including your DB will be running fine with the new OS. Usually they
would not as they may need to be patched. So that means you have to check the Oracle websites
as for what are the patches needed to make your Oracle runs properlly in the new OS.
Most important is your backup plan, which is your mirrored-disk of your running environment.
Also you have to make a Plan of everything. Doing this will really take a lot of time.
Good luck. I have done this before.....I'm pretty sure you could do it.
just remember , your back-up plan should always be available anytime. -
SUN QuadFastEthernet Driver for Solaris 8
Does anyone knows if I install the drivers for Solaris 2.5 on my Solaris 8 if I have any chance that it will work?
I am having the similar problem identified in this thread.
OS: Sun Solaris 10 01/06
Hardware: Sun Blade 2500
PCI Memory card.
Problem: When driver moves more then 40 bytes via PIO from a PCI device memory card, the long words are swapped starting at 40 byte transfer size and greater.
device memory description:
static ddi_device_acc_attr_t sdram_access_attr =
DDI_DEVICE_ATTR_V0, /* Boilerplate value */
DDI_STRUCTURE_LE_ACC,
DDI_STRICTORDER_ACC /* Don't reorder accesses */
The user application does a read call, which goes to xxread. xxread calls physio( xxstrategy, bp, dev, B_READ, xxminphys, uio );
In xxstrategy the transfer is done using
ddi_mem_rep_get8(ucb->ucb_sdram_accHndl,
(uint8_t*) kaddr,
(uint8_t*) raddr,
(size_t) bp->b_resid),
(uint_t) DDI_DEV_AUTOINCR );
PCI Device memory is loaded with incrementing address (8bit), 0,1,2... This is confirmed using a PCI Bus Analyzer.
A read of 36 bytes or less returns:
03 02 01 00 07 06 05 04 ...
A read of 40 bytes returns:
07 06 05 04 03 02 01 00 ...
If I peek 1 byte at a time using ddi_get8(ucb->ucb_sdram_accHndl, ...) I get
00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07
Why are the long words swapped starting at 40 byte transfer size and greater? -
I am getting this same error on install of 9201 on Solaris 9 ; ld is core dumping - I have all of the required packages so I can't figure out why linking is failing, can anybody please give me a fix?!!?

Of the ones which open, I can download the .dmg and expand it but when clicked it opens as a window with multiple choice of languages and an icon which instructs you to click to open.
If I do this some versions repeat the 'damaged' message but the later ones generate a window saying:-
'“Install Wacom Tablet.pkg" can't be opened because the Identity of the developer cannot be confirmed.' - this is as far as I can get it to go; most frustrating!
I understand that Apple's security updates have recently included an alteration that causes this result, and that there is supposed to be a legal (i.e. Apple sanctioned) workaround to allow files like this to be opened. If this is so, can anyone enlighten me?Many Thanks, Kurt.
I knew I'd seen the solution you've provided somewhere - either in MacWorld or MacFormat - but couldn't remember the Gatekeeper bit!
I shall save it somewhere VERY safe now in case this happens again …
You have made an old man very happy and saved me from worrying that senile decay had suddenly set in. (I was 70 last week so you might understand the situation from that.)

How can I install a driver for HP Laserjet P3005. My mac won't allow installation?
My macbook won't allow em to install the driver for HP Laserjetp3005. Any ideas?
Apple suppies all the drivers for all the printers that work with any specific os x version. Just go to the Print & scan section of system preferences and Add Printer (Plus ( + ) Sign) and if it is supported the driver will be there.
