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.
Return to the forum and let the rest of us know what happens..

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.

Oracle 10g R2 installation on sun solaris 10 Sparc machine

Hi there,
I encountered the following problem during oracle 10g R2 installation on sun solaris 10 Sparc machine
Error encountered:

Note: when executing the ./runInstaller, the preinstallation checking just hangs at Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors. But the log file shows it failed during preinstallation checking as shown in Error encountered
Please help me with this problem.
Thank you

It is because of UNIX shell. I also faced this error during installation.
First check your shell by the following command.
$ echo $SHELL
Then select the below.
For csh shell
$ setenv DISPLAY 192.168.1.128:0.0
$ export DISPLAY
For sh,ksh and bash
$ DISPLAY=192.168.1.128:0.0
$ export DISPLAY
After you do this check the value of DISPLAY variable.
$ echo $DISPLAY
If the DISPLAY variable is set then run ./runInstaller.
One advice: Keep a complete log of your terminal session. This will help you in future :)

How to Enable firewall on Solaris 10 SPARC Machine?

Hi All,
I have installed Solaris 10 SPARC & by default the firewall is disabled.
Now i need to enable firewall?
Can i know how to enable firewall Solaris 10 SPARC Machine?
Also can i know how to open up specific TCP & UDP ports?

What exactly are you looking for? By default Solaris is a secure operating system, but can be tuned to be more or less secure. The link above on IP Filtering is one way to make a system more secure, and is can be used to set up a firewall.

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.

Quad gigaSwift Ethernet Driver for Solaris 10 Sparc

I have been looking about for this all over the place and cannot find it anywhere, in the manual and the sun site all the downloads are for solaris 9.
Are these cards not supported on Solaris 10 Sparc ?
Cheers,
Mike

it is the X4444A solaris 10 did pick up the card straight away, but the problem is there was no ce.conf file, i have created my own because i need to turn on jumbo frame for an individual port, but when i add it in all the ports on the card are being set to MTU 9800 so then i have to set them indivually to 1500 apart from the one i am using that needs to be 9000. This is all good and proper but when i activate this the box connects to the netapps server but all nfs shares fail as soon as anything touches these directories.
The netapps filer is running at MTU 9000 and the card is running at 9000 causes everything to fall over, set back to normal and everything is ok.
Any ideas ?

Instaling second ethernet card / sharing internet connection

Hiya.
Is it possible to share my cable broadband service ( PS3 etc ) through my PPC G4, maybe by installing a second ethernet pci card and sharing the internal ethernet, or is there any other possibilities. no airport, but do have a D-link bluetooth dongle...

As other posters have pointed out, you don't need a second ethernet card to share out your connection - if you have an existing router (with a number of ethernet connections), you can connect your game consoles to that, and your ISP will be none the wiser. Your ISP will still give you one IP address; your router does the translation into multiple private IP addresses (eg 10.0.1.1, 10.0.1.2, etc)
Another option is to buy an inexpensive network switch, put that between the router and the Mac, connect the other devices to the switch, and turn on sharing from ethernet to ethernet. But you really don't need to with a router on the network.
If you share out your Mac's internet connection, the devices behind the connection will get IP addresses in the range 192.168.2.x (the Mac will effectively be their router/DHCP server at 192.168.2.1).

PCMCIA Realtek Ethernet card not detected

Hi, I'm trying to use a PCMCIA Etherner Card with Realtek chip.
If the card it's already plugged when booting, Udev takes 180000 ms to finish and the card doesn't work. If it's plugged while booted, dmesg shows that there's a "something" at SmartCardBus but, again, card doesn't get recognized.
"Ifconfig -a" shows nothing, and I know the card works 'cause I've tryed with an Ubuntu cd and the cards works perfect. I've looked for the modules, and 8139too & 8139cp where loaded, wich I've tryed in arch and still doesn't work, It also detects the same hardware with lspci (Arch detects the Cardbus but not the realtek card, Ubuntu detects both) and lspcmcia.
Ubuntu is using kernel 2.6.27-7 and Arch 2.6.28.

Booted into Arch Overlod cd and a simple lspci show my shiny new card...Now i'm going to erase my hole system (it was new anyway) and check if a Suy breaks the drivers again. In that case, i should file a bug somewhere, right?

Installing New Ethernet Card

The ethernet connection on my Digital Audio mother board is no longer functioning so I went out and bought a Linksys Ethernet PCI card but it still doent work (red dot in Network Preferences) or show up in System Profiler.
Will this solution work or do I need a new motherboard? Any suggestions?
Thank you ahead of time.
Clyde

Are you sure that it is seated in the connector. Try removing it & reinstalling it. You might even try a different PCI slot. Some times a new installed/connected item will show up in the Profiler, but may not work. But in your case the card is not being recognized. First you need to get it recognized.
Cheers, Tom

How to install and configure RSYNC on Solaris 10 SPARC

I am trying to setup two Solaris boxes to sync their two mount points in real time using RSYNC. If any update happens on Server A it should reflect on server B automatically. Use CRON or as system SERVICE, which is best? Servers are on WAN link and are running RSYNC from Sunfreeware.com. Thanks in advance...

NFS can be painfully slow over a WAN. rsync in a compressed SSH tunnel (especially with the HPN patches) can be significantly faster.
It seems to me the choice isn't between cron and a service. You're always going to need to schedule the jobs via cron because the system isn't going to tell you when it needs to run. it's between the client talking to an RSYNC daemon or talking to a standard communication channel (like SSH) and spawning the other rsync.
If you need something more than periodic syncs, you could look into AVS. That is a more complex but more powerful solution for some needs. [http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Project+avs/]
I never use the rsync daemon because I already understand the authentication schemes I have set up for SSH. So leveraging that makes sense.

Adobe Reader on a Solaris 10 SPARC machine

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if Adobe's Vulnerability ID: APSB11-03 is applicable to Reader 8.1.7. That is the version of Reader that is installed be default with the latest version of Solaris 10 for SPARC platforms.
Thanks.

Dear zata40,
No, Adobe Reader 8.1.7 for SPARC solaris is not affected by this security vulnerability, it is applicable to Win and Mac releases only.

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

License for cross-compilation for solaris 10 sparc on Linux x86

I'd like to do cross-compilation for solaris 10 sparc on Linux x86 using gcc (for linux). To do that, I have to copy libraries (/lib/64) and includes (/usr/include) from a sparc machine to my linux machine.
The compilation will be run on about (up to) 50 Linux machines (by various developers). We also have 3 solaris-10-SPARC machines.
I wonder if Solaris license allows me to copy the includes and libs to perform compilation elsewhere.
I also checked "OTN License Agreement for Oracle Solaris", but it looks like Oracle allows for installing "the programs" on up to 3 machines, but I need it on 50.
Thanks for any suggestions or redirections to a proper place where I can get an answer.

When installing Solaris 10 01/06 on a Dell 1850 I receive an error message during the install saying "no disk found". I assume that the drive/controller is not recognized. The Dell 1850 is listed under the HCL for Solaris 10 10/06. I don't believe I can use the Solaris(TM) Device Driver for the LSI MegaRAID Adapter floppy with 1/06. I don�t have any other Solaris boxes up so I can�t build a jump start server. Any suggestions?
