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

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.

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.

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...

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 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 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 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 "pci8086,101d"
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.

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.

Updated bios via Live Update and now my Network card isn't detected

I have an msi Z87-GD65 Gaming Motherboard and I updated some drivers and the bios via msi Live Update 6 last night and now my computer refuses to recognize my network adapter. The adapter is a TRENDnet N600, plugs into PCIe if I'm not mistaken. Wifi if my only option with this computer, I can't use ethernet, so it's really important I get the network card working again. I have had zero issues with it until this.
The reason I was updating was to try to get my third monitor to work when plugged into the mobo, while my other two were plugged into the graphics card (which I also installed yesterday, but it's working fine). Note that it still was not working, but I had enabled the IGD Multi-Monitor from bios.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I did try uninstalling the drivers but it still won't detect the network card. I also tried disconnecting and reconnecting the network card (and I cleaned the port for good measure).
I've only been using Windows computers for a year, so bear with me if there's stuff I don't know. Thanks in advance. I can try to get a full list of what was installed later tonight, but all of it that I can find has been uninstalled at this point.
Note: I did not flash the bios when I installed, which I have now heard is a bad idea, apparently. l:

what OS you are running?

Help with purchasing correct network card

Hi, I'm trying to set up a wireless network for a friend who has an IBook G3 purchased in December 2002 which I know makes it very old. I have a 802.11g wireless ADSL router successfully set up and the IBook can connect to the internet successfully through a standard network cable to the router.
I would like to connect to the router wirelessly so I would appreciate some guidance on the correct network card to buy for this model
IBook G3 PowerPC Model A1005 Mac OS X (10.2.x)

Welcome, Kosh-vorion
first check with the system profiler (Apple->"Abouth this Mac"->"more Info")then "network"->Airport card
whether there is already an airport card build in. if not, you need to buy it and install it; i don't know whether this is easy or not for an iBook to install. There is a manual here:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iBookG3_14inchUserGuideMultilingual.PDF
but i'm not sure whether it is exactly your model. (search the Apple supprt pages, if it isn't).
cost of the Airport card is something like 50 $.
If it is already installed, go to "system preferences"-> network and setup.
Post back, if you have more questions.
success,
Thomas
