Please Help: Intel Pro 1000 NIC not detected by Solaris 10

Hi there,
I just installed Solaris 10 in my Dell Dimension 8400 w/ an Intel Pro 1000 Gigabit on-board NIC. However, the network doesn't work. I checked "ifconfig -a" and only lo0 showed up. Anybody can give me any instruction to make it work? I guess I need to install the driver (e1000g?) first.
I'm totally new for Solaris... (I used Fedora Linux for a while though). Thanks a lot for you help!

Network card: e1000g (Intel PRO/1000 MT) did not working properly

Hi to everyone!
I'm having some strange trouble.
All computers attached to one DLink gigabit switch
Server #1:
nf4-based motherboard, Intel PRO/1000 MT net card, onboard net card (forcedeth driver used) Ubuntu Linux 2.6.25 kernel version.
All just working.
Server #2:
nf6-based motherboard, same Intel net card, SunOS 5.11 snv_86.
All just working.
Server #3:
Same as server's #1 nf4-based motherboard. Same onboard card. Same SunOS 5.11 snv_86 as server #2 have installed.
Its work. BUT..
Intel card is not working as expected.
It is seen by system. It is properly up and running. It is sending packent and receiving packets. Ierrs=Oerrs=Collis=Queue=0.
But thru e1000g0 interface no one computer can reach this one, and from server #3 no one computer is seen thru e1000g0. Exept...
Except two old Sunray1 devices (attached to the same switch for testing purposes)! But even these devices seen only by arp requests, and is not pingable.
It is some mistery, but if I turn on jubmo frames, these rays got a picture from SRSS, testing on this sevrer! Not for long, heh, they hung up fast, but this is proof a physical connection :)
So, I can not disable onboard network card on Server #3 - server becoming unreachable :(
I know, those network cards must work on Solaris - as they did it on server #2. I know, those network cards work with my nf4-based motherboards - as they did it on server #1.
But I can't uderstand, whait is going on with e1000g driver on server #3!
P.S. Kernel driver e1000g settings are the same. All difference from servers #2 and #3 is: #2 had Intel netcard installed then Solaris was setting up, and #3 had Intel netcard installed later. All netcards are working (I trying to swap them from one computer to another - did not change anything).

*) #3 thinks it is sending, but a NIC/driver error prevents it.NIC is fully health. It is tested on another PC. Driver error - or driver's bad implementation - is the one I'm thinking.
*) #3 has a bad transmit pair of wires (would affect all communication)This patchcord works w/o problems on other PCs and even on onboard NIC of server #3.
*) Network problemsHeh :)
*) Firewall or other device is dropping the ARP repliesIt is some very stealthy and very selective firewall, affecting only external NICs :)
BTW, then cord is attached to NIC, it sends "who has this IP" requests, asking to be shure there will not be an IP conflict. No one seen this requests.
*) #1 has a NIC/driver error preventing it from seeing the reply.Only for send from #3? It is like a firewall on #3 :) And, there is more PCs, not only #1-#3. No one can see #3's replays (or asks), not only #1..
I'm repeating: this PC works in network now on onboard NIC w/o problems. But onboard NIC is only 100 Mb/s, and we need 1 Gb/s.
I was thinking, Solaris took wrong MAC for NICs - but not, ifconfig shows the same MACs as marked on NICs.
Even more, yesterday i plumbed e1000g1 - second Intel NIC in server #3. And I was surprised - it worked perfectly!
But I make "touch /reconfigure; init 6" - and after reboot, no one of two Intel NICs working again :( They both have the same behavior - no one can see packets they sends.)
I even try to restrict connection on 100 Mb/s by driver's .conf modify - it works, link become yellow instead of green (take a note, NIC is able to "speak" properly with switch!), but all other stay the same.
Strange, really strange behavior. More strange is a fact this NICs work on another instance of same SunOS, but on different motherboard, while the same MB with same NIC is working w/o problems under Ubuntu. Looks like some bug in Solaris driver.

The Connect from Intel Pro/1000 T to 1000base-t Port on Catalyst 4000 (WS-X4412-2GB-T= module) Not Working Properly

The connect from Intel Pro/1000 T to 1000base-t port on Catalyst 4000 (WS-X4412-2GB-T= module) is not working properly. The Intel Pro/1000 T NIC connects to a 10/100 OK. Auto-negotiation is set at both ends. We can successfully ping across the link. However performance is so poor as to make the connection unusable.

When an Intel Pro/1000 T NIC is connected to a Catalyst switch, the customer may see poor network connections or excessive numbers of dropped packets. The problem arises when a module with a TBI interface transmits an odd byte packet to a receiver with a Gigabit Media Independent Interface (GMII).
The interoperability issue is a result of the implementation of Carrier Extension. Carrier Extension is detailed in sub section 35.2.3.5 in the IEEE 802.3 specification. Carrier Extension can be used to pad the last byte of a packet, so the packet is aligned on an even numbered boundary.

Lenovo/IBM 8113-d5u + Intel 945 + Intell Pro 1000 PM

We recently received some boxes from Lenovo part number 8113-d5u. They use
the Intell 945 chipset and have an integrated Intel Pro 1000 PM on a PCIE bus.
When we PXE boot it fails to find drivers for ethernet. This happens
during the loading of linux.2. We added e1000.ko to the list of drivers to
load in /etc/nwdriverList but this does not work.
Error message on PXE boot is:
"Unable to detect network card. Check documentation for list of supported
cards."
From dmesg when loading the e1000 module:
e1000: no version magic, tainting kernel.
Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - version 5.6.10.1-k2
Copyright (c) 1999-2004 Intel Corporation.
This board is the first board we've had with a PCIE connected ethernet
controller.
We are using a modified PXE image (from Novell forge with SATA support),
but the same error happens on the vanilla one from Novell.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Unsure if you mean the same as we have here using IBM T60 and M52, added
the latest intel driver to our imaging environment and it worked. Trying
to load to forge but can't see where to load. Using Zfd 4 SP6.
I had to build a Linux box to create the driver file, used Redhat 7.3 so
that we had an old version of GCC to compile.
Drop me an email if you want me to send our linux.1 and linux.2 or just
the e1000.o
Remove the __ to email me
Thanks
Steve Gardiner

How to install driver for Intel Pro 1000 PCI Network-card

Hello,
I just bought the a.m. Intel Pro 1000 Network adapter, but I don't know at all how to install the driver for Solaris 10.
The installation instructions delivered from Intel didn't help me at all, because I can't uncompress the INTCGigae.pkg and the INTCGigaE.tar.z files.
I copied them to /tmp and folllowed Intel's Installlation Instructions.
Please keep in mind I am new to Solaris 10, with no Linux/Unix experience, when helping me.
Thanks in advance for help and assistance.

Hi!
And what happens if you install the driver from the Toshiba WLAN portal:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan
I still dont know what you mean with Askey for Toshiba
You should try to install the driver manually. Choose in device manager the WLAN card, right click and select Update Driver. Choose the advanced installation where you can choose the driver directory yourself and navigate to the folder where you have stored the downloaded driver.

P35 Platinum - Intel PRO 1000 MT Network Adapter problem

Greetings.
Found out very strage thing - installation of "Intel PRO 1000 MT Network Adapter" in any PCI slot disabled onboard Intel raid controller! :(
If this card installed Intel Matrix Storage Manager screen do not appear in boot process and Raid do not listed in Boot Sequence bios options, instead
I can see Network Adapter in this list. I tryed "Boot from othe devices" option, bus it not work too.
So with this adapter installed I'm not able to boot from raid.
Currently I use bios version 1.4
Any idea how to solve this?
P.S. Installation of old 3COM 3C905CX-TX-M Adapter did not have such effect, but there is no Win x64 drivers for it.

Hi Maesus,
Thanks, I did and filled information about my computer configuration.
Hope it'll help solve the problem.
AaronYuri, thans go reply.
But maybe it's some misundestanding - when I say that installation of Intel adapter in PCI slot "disabled onboard Intel raid controllr" it does not mean that raid controller disabled in bios settings - settings in "Integrated Peripherals->On-chip ATA devices" are the same (PCI IDE BusMaster = Enabled, Raid mode = RAID), but it's looks like bios "did not see" raid controller - it disappers from list of devices to boot from and I did not see screen of Intel Matrix in boot proces (this screen alwais presents if controller switched in raid mode)

Gigabit EtherChannel between 6509 and Intel Pro/1000 MTx

I am trying to configure gigabit etherchannel to connect our backup server with a 6509. The Intel Pro/1000 MT nic in the server has two gigabit ports and supports teaming using LACP. I have configured two gig ports on the 6509 as layer 2 etherchannel ports ( channel-group 2 mode active ). The switch ports always show up as disabled. I can't seem find any documentaion on connecting server to switch using etherchannel ( although the Intel Pro MT nic documentaion does mention it ). Does anyone have experience doing this ?

We always just use load balancing on the Intel NICs and do nothing with the switch but make sure that the ports are in the correct vlan.
We have been using this for over 3 years flawlessly.
Our switches are a Cat4006 and Cat4506.

Intel pro/1000 CT Speed Issue

Has anyone experienced a drop to 10MBPS from 100MBPS using the Intel pro/1000 CT adapter on the Neo2 865P? If I manually set it to 100 MBPS it says "Network Cable Unplugged". Very strange since it was running at 100 MBPS for a week.

I can not force 100mbs either. It says Network cable unplugged when I try. here are my IRQs:
IRQ 0   System timer   OK
IRQ 1   Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard   OK
IRQ 3   Communications Port (COM2)   OK
IRQ 4   Communications Port (COM1)   OK

Is your problem due to the keyboard or to NeoOffice Characters? You have to change probably the font. Not all fonts are supporting all Unicode sets. Which font you have in your NeoOffice set to write Tamil? Try with Arial Unicode MS for example.
Are the letter e-Ex and ai-Ex right in your posting? If they are right, how you inserted these letters in your posting? By copy and paste or by typing? If by typing, your question is related to NeoOffice. Probably you should reinstall or update NeoOffice? Or switch to OpenOffice?

Intel Pro/1000

Hi,
A probably silly question follows.
I was given an Intel Pro/1000 Gigabit Ethernet adapter ( 1000BASE-SX )
and I was wondering if I can fit it to a Sun Ultra 30. I plan to buy another
Sun workstation soon ( probably a Blade 1000 or 2000, will see ), will it
fit there?
( I am after a Sun adapter but just in case... )
Regards,
Nick.

Ops!
Thank you for your reply. :-)
Nick.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom

Please Help - bacbook pro is not responding after i tried to reset password

I tried to reset the admin password on my macbook pro and found the following suggestion online:
when i reboot, the desktop is not comming - it just sits there loading something forever.
Please help!!

This wouldn't be the right place to get help with this type of situation you would have better luck in the Using Mac OS X section... but this since you're here, try this
If you are able to get past the login window try this
1. reboot holding down Command S
2. type "/sbin/mount -uw /" with no qoutes
3. type rm -r "/Users/(your account short name)/Library/Caches" no qoutes. ie: rm -r /Users/eric/Library/Caches
4.type reboot
If you cannot get to the login window(stuck at a grey or blue screen) try this

the last step would be to create a new account via single user mode. If the 1st two suggestions don't work come back and post and I'll post how to do that or give you a script that you can run in single user mode to do it for you (whichever you prefer)

PLEASE HELP! My iPod is not being detected on iTunes!

I know everyone is posting about this, but nothing seems to be working. I've done tons of research and tried it all!
Here's the story: My 1st iPod has been using the firmware 1.1.1, until I recently decided to update it. It was updated to 1.1.5, and the moment iTunes was restarted, it could no longer be detected by iTunes! My iPod has been working fine before the update, so it can't be the iPod itself. I've listed below all the things I've tried! The iPod DOES appear in My Computer, but NOT in iTunes (using iTunes 8, but I have tried uninstalling and reintalling different versions)
Things I've tried and haven't worked:
- Restarting the computer and iPod
- Resetting the iPod by holding the Home and Sleep button
- Uninstall/Reinstall iTunes (several times, on different versions)
- http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1852?viewlocale=en_US
- Apple Support's 5 R's, and related articles
- Thread suggestion: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1821771&tstart=0
- iPod not recognized on laptop article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1401
- Starting/Stopping the iPod Service and Apple Mobile device
- Uninstalling and reinstalling the device in Device Manager
- Plugging into different USB ports (they were fully functional before firmware update)
- Plugging into a different computer (where it was also not detected on iTunes)
I believe my problem is maybe that I need to reinstall the firmware, but I can't do this without it being detected on iTunes! Any ideas???
I really hope someone out there can help me! I am so frustrated and stuck with this problem and have been going around in circles! Thanks so much for ANYONE's help!

look at the brightside at least your computer sees yours
