Installing ne2000 compatible network card

i am trying to install a ne2000 compatible network card (isa) on solaris 8 intel.
i have placed the following info in nei.conf:
name="nei" parent="isa" ioaddr=0x300 interrupts=3;
but when i issue drvconfig -i nei
it says:
"drvconfig: controller cannot be added:nei"
do you have any idea of what can be happening? thanks a lot

Hi!
According to docs on:
http://sun.drydog.com/faq/s86faq.html#6.6
there should be
name="nei" parent="isa" reg=1,0x300,0x10 interrupts=3;
(reg= keyword instead of ioaddr=). Please ensure that you have installed /kernel/drv/nei driver file (see above link for details please). Also double check IO and IRQ parameters - IRQ3 may conflict with serial port If the card is working in another OS note IO & IRQ values and use them in Solaris too if possible.

Installing a second Network Card

Having just installed Solaris 8 on an Intel based machine, the system is identifying two installed network cards.
Can anyone tell me how to configure the second Network Card - IP address etc as the Web Start package will only allow configuration of the first network card

You just need to create a new text file /etc/hostname.{nic-interface-name}
Lets assume the system has two intel etherexpress pro NICs installed. The intel NIC's driver
name / interface name is "iprb". So the two NICs are named "iprb0" and "iprb1".
The file /etc/hostname.iprb0 should already exist (created by the inital installation).
Just create /etc/hostname.iprb1 and put into this file the ip-address of the iprb1 interface.
You can also use a hostname in that file and add a hostname -> ip address mapping
into the /etc/hosts file.
During the next reboot the system will automatically bring up both the iprb0 and iprb1
interface.

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.

Installing New network card on a Cisco Catalyst 6500 VSS mode

Hi All.
I need to install a new network card on Cisco Catalyst 6500 VSS mode, I need to follow any special procedures or is it only insert the new card and the Catalyst automatically recognizes the card?
Thank you So mucho.

Hi,
Just insert the blade and the switch should recognize it. For the 6500 series the blades are hot swap able.

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"
e1000g "pci8086,1001"
e1000g "pci8086,1004"
e1000g "pci8086,1008"
e1000g "pci8086,1009"
e1000g "pci8086,100d"
e1000g "pci8086,100e"
e1000g "pci8086,100f"
e1000g "pci8086,1010"
e1000g "pci8086,1011"
e1000g "pci8086,1012"
e1000g "pci8086,1013"
e1000g "pci8086,1014"
e1000g "pci8086,1015"
e1000g "pci8086,1016"
e1000g "pci8086,1017"
e1000g "pci8086,1018"
e1000g "pci8086,1019"
e1000g "pci8086,101a"
e1000g "pci8086,101d"
e1000g "pci8086,101e"
e1000g "pci8086,1026"
e1000g "pci8086,1027"
e1000g "pci8086,1028"
e1000g "pci8086,1075"
e1000g "pci8086,1076"
e1000g "pci8086,1077"
e1000g "pci8086,1079"
e1000g "pci8086,107a"
e1000g "pci8086,107b"The eeprom checksum failure does not look too good. I'm not sure if this is a problem which prevents the
use of the hardware with the solaris network driver.

Network card installation

I've tried installing 2 different network cards (Linksys TNE100TX; 3COM 3C509B Etherlink III). I think my problem is that I'm a novice user and don't know how to install a network card and assign an IP address. I've found the Linksys card on one HCL (although it's not listed in my Solaris 8 documentation on my disk), but can't find the 3COM card. Are either one of these cards compatible? Do I need drivers?
I'm on an Intel platform with Solaris 8. I am connected to a Linksys router (to share my DSL line). The router has a fixed IP address from PacBell, but uses 'DHCP' to assign IP addresses to my 3 computers.
How can I let my UNIX system know I'm using DHCP?
How do I assign the router IP address? Do I use the route add default command? Do I use the default gateway address or the router IP address for this?
Do I need a DNS/hosts table? Should I edit the /etc/nsswitch.conf file to add 'dns' to the 'hosts' line?
Do I need to edit the /etc/resolv.conf file, putting in my primary and secondary name servers (from Pac Bell)?
Also, on boot I get an error message: Can't register INT for PCIclass, 0C0300 device at IPL 1 because conflicts with IPL 14. Can you explain what this means and how to correct it?
As you can from my questions, I know some terminology (from my books), but don't really have a good grasp of what I am doing yet. I just started learning UNIX.
Thanks for any help you can give me on this.

Recently I have installed S10 b63 on a X86 PII machine.
Regarding the 3com nic - 3c905c - the installation and running with elxl driver was ok.
Now I want to change this nic for an other 3com nic -3c905, but encountered following problems:
When I put new nic in same pci slot and boot up solaris I get a row of errors and don't get trough the boot process.
-Errors are caused e.g. by the different MAC address of the NIC, and therefore no NIC is recognised at all.
-Boot hangs because a NSF request is made at boot, but is not rewarded as NIC is not active.
Changed my strategy to adding a second 3com NIC (both using the elxl driver) and followed the hints from Juergen Keil (above), but " ifconfig elxl1plumb " results in "no such interface"
I have looked on the web and in the documentation for a solution, but so far I have not found how to go about this, other that doing a complete new solaris installation.
Any help appriciated !

Replacement network cards for MacPro

My question is for anyone who is familiar with the MacPro motherboard. Lightning blew out my dual ethernet card and the estimate to replace it is around $450. A friend told me I could purchase a compatible network card and plug it directly into one of the three available slots on the mother board. If this is true, could anyone suggest to me a network card that is compatible with the MacPro motherboard? I would appreciate any help with this issue!

Are you considering any particular cards ?
I have had good luck with DEC21040 (10baseT) and DEC21140 (100baseT) cards
in Solaris 7 through Solaris 10 on x86.
The same can be said for 3Com 3C905C-TX cards.
Solaris 8x86 will recognize many chipsets natively,
and a number of third party developers have created working driver packages.
Most of their driver packages are free, but a few are not free.
Solaris 9 works with a few more, and Solaris 10 works with yet more adapters.
The Solaris 8x86 HCL list has the native cards.
This other Sun web page can direct you toward 3rd party sites.

Older G5 & new network card

I have a older G5 with what I think is PCI X and I need to install a second network card. I have 2 cards form a PC one is intel and the other a 3com. If i was to try these could it damage the g5?

4500x 10Gb/s network card

Hi all
I'm configuring a new 10Gb/s switch solution (WS-C4500X-F-16SFP+) with DAC cables (SFP-H10GB-CU5M) for our customer. He asked us a 10Gb/s compatible network card for his ESXi servers. I've looked several brand (qlogic, intel, broadcom) but I'm not able to find a compatibility between switch->dac cable->netwok card.
Could you suggest me a correct network card for this configuration?
thanks

Did the AirPort card work in the shop?
...MBP's Network Card is JUNK...
You mean the built-in Apple AirPort card? The one that I am using right now cruising the Internet flawlessly while sitting in my back yard, about 200 feet from the base AirPort Extreme?
There has to be some intimate setting that needs to be flipped on your MBP. I am sure others here will assist you. I don't know the settings well enough - they just have worked for me without problems from Day One.
Just for the record, I have the ONLY MacBook Pro that came from Apple with no problems - that is, if I were to believe everything written in these messagegroups. My batteries don't explode. My AC adapter hasn't spontaneously combusted and burned my cat to death. My 17" matte display doesn't have a single pixel out of whack. No matter where I place my AC adapter, the internal speakers work as expected. Airport performance is to my liking. I am the luckiest guy on the planet...and this was my first Mac purchase after spending over 20 years with that other OS.

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.

Boot Camp Windows 8.1 Installation Did Not Install Network Card

I just installed a Windows 8.1 Boot Camp partition on a new Mid 2013 MBA. The install ran the support software and installed the drivers. However I don't show any network cards in my Windows 8.1 installation. I reran the support sw manually and it went through and supposedly fixed any driver errors but I still don't see a network card or have a network connection. It works just fine in my OSX partition, so it is definately a driver issue. *** do I need to do to get the network driver installed?

In Thehatters defence, this was initially posted in the MacbookPro forum and then moved to Boot Camp,
If you have any joy solving your trackpad device driver issue, feel free to post here (there might be a similar fix for my wireless adapter device)
Thanks

Do i need a network card to install and run a local java web server

Friends,
Do i need a network card in my computer to install and run a local Java Web Server or any Web Server.

network cards are only for connecting equipment together... you can set up a webserver without any more equipment than you have already! Indeed Tomcat... BUT you would be better off with apache for production stuff. It depends what you need to serve... if its mainly static pages (i guess it probably isn't) then apache will be enough by itself; but if you need to serve dynamic pages (JSP, Servlet blah blah) then you will need tomcat. Tomcat has it's own webserver and its perfectly ok for testing or low-load stuff, but you can integrate with Apache (a moderately compex task, but do-able, see tomcat-user forum off of apache site) for greater stability, and you don't have to show the port in the URL... Don't set up a webserver on any pc that contains stuff you don't want hacked into... it becomes very succeptible when the service is up...

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

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.
