Solaris 10 x86 patching, ethernet stopped working

Hello,
This morning I ran smpatch download, install in single user mode. Rebooted, and my ethernet has stopped working on elxl0 3com 90XX LAN driver. There does not appear to be any problems in dmesg. Anyone having similar problems?
I have been keeping up-to-date on my patches, this morning I remember seeing a kernel patch, a s4/usr patch. And a couple of others.

Please disregard, it appears there was a recent network change that seems to have affected this system. Thanks.

USB Ethernet stop working after 10.7.5 update

After updated to 10.7.5, my usb ethernet stop working, and always shows it doesn't connect.
Reinstall 10.7.5 make no difference.
How do I solve it?
Thanks!

Or download it directly from ASIX Electronics instead of driversworld.us.
Product family: USB 2.0 to fast Ethernet
Product name: AX88772

I installed it and my AppleUSBEthernet started to work.
The error i had (sudo dmesg):

Can someone share Solaris 10 x86 patch 145028-01?

Hi All,
My sunsolve account does not have priviledge to download Solaris 10 x86 patch 145028-01. Can someone download and share this patch with me?
Regards,

So let's see ...
You want me to spend money in sufficient amounts to have a service sontract that gives me access to patch downloads.
... but you then want it for free?
No!

Ethernet stopped working suddenly

I've been reading various topics on this board and it seems like many people have this problem but there are not many solutions.
My problem is that my ethernet stopped working suddenly. I've taken the following steps:
- reset the cable modem
- reset the router
- turned off my ethernet card and rebooted the computer then turned it on again; renew DHCP ip
- create a new location
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm not an expert, but here are a few suggestions & questions:
• Did you reset things in the order you wrote them in your post i.e. modem before router? (That can be important. Also I find it takes my modem a couple of minutes to establish a connection, so I wait for a while before I turn on the router.)
• Do you have any other computers wired up? Do they work?
• Have you tried setting the computer location to Automatic?
• Does your Modem have LED readouts which indicate when it is connected to the Internet and to a router?

Ethernet stopped working at last update

Hard-wired ethernet stopped working after the last update.
Wireless works.
I have a trendnet wireless router. When the imac is connected via physical ethernet cable, it can actually ping and http to the trendnet and other machine on the same subnet just fine. However, it can't get beyond that. Looked at routing table and it looks fine.
When i take the same imac, connect via wireless to the same trendnet router, everything works.
Routing table looks identical.
PC's in same line can be hard-wired to the trendnet router and work fine as well.
Checked for more updates and none available.

This is and old problem that as far as I know has not been resolved. You might try a search here to see all the other posts concerning this.
I had a similar problem with my brand-new Mac about a month ago. It worked on my wireless system when I first booted it up and then after I updated it about 20 minutes later, it began to repeatedly drop the Internet connection. After a week of fighting it, I had to switch to Ethernet thus having only my Mac wired while my PCs cruise right along on wireless.
When I first tried the Ethernet hookup, it still dropped a couple of times. It has not done so in the last 2 weeks, knock on wood. However, I am afraid to try wireless again as I may never get Ethernet back. Perhaps, just perhaps, Apple will resolve this in the next update if they even are aware of it.
Sorry for no answer to your problem. I hope someone sooner or later is able to resolve this.

Solaris 8 x86 patch cluster installation

hi. i recently installed solaris 8 x86 on my intel p4 machine. i got through the installation fine but i am now running into problems with installing the 8x86 recommended patch cluster.
whenever i run the install_cluster script, it says every patch failed to install due to return code 1. i even tried manually installing the patches manually via patchadd...but i end up getting a message saying the patch directory is not valid.
i basically downloaded the 8x86 recommended patch cluster zip file on a windows 2k machine. i unzip the file and then burn the patches onto a cd. i then copy the patches from the cd onto my solaris machine and try to install the patches that way. so far...this doesn't work..and i dont know what im doing wrong.
does anyone know how to fix this problem? thx.

hi again. i just fixed my problem. apparently when i unzipped the file and then burned it onto cd...the data got corrupted. i fixed it by copying the zip file onto cd and then extracting the patches onto the solaris machine.

VmWare, Solaris 10, x86, Patch 120536-05, video drivers

Hello,
I have Solaris 10 x86 working under VmWare 5.x with JDS. I use the Xorg VmWare video driver with a resolution of 1280x1024.
Everything works fine as long I don't apply the patch 120536-05 (updated video drivers and fixes).
I mean the only reason I have for applying this patch is due to the "SUN Update Manager". It's the only one left. All the other patches are installed. I can work without the patch, it's only nice to have.
As soon it is installed I get no longer a console outside of the windowmanager login screen.
On the login screen I say "Command line". Then I have a blank Screen for about 1 minute. It flashes around 5 times in this minute and then I get back to the login screen.
I think it's a bug in the patch. Any idea?
Cheers El_Sol

save a copy of the /etc/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig and or the /etc/X11/tX86config file it your have one, of running Xorg vs SUN X, then try running the kdmconfig -u and then the kdmconfig -v to reconfigure it.
Open a sunsolve support ticket the contract support for your issue if it is reproducable and you can profice any errors on for Solaris 10 x86 is resonable if you already do not have one even if your on a whitebox clone, it's worrth looking into!

Wired ethernet stops working on c2d MBP

I am a new 15 inch C2D MBP owner and I'm just starting to learn all the Mac stuff... I need your help because I have a serious problem with wired ethernet stability under macOS. I need to know if it's something specific to my machine or if anyone else has similar problem.
I am connected to a LAN with a 10/100 Mbit switch. I'm using a good cable (checked!). And my connection seems to hang from time to time. Usually this happens under heavier load (torrent plus multi-tab browsing), but it dies sometimes during casual browsing or checking for system updates. And it's anywhere from 3 minutes to 12 hours between hangs...
The symptoms are strange. The connection seems to be on, but there's a sudden surge in bad packet received number and the network connection stops working remaining on-line. Putting the machine to sleep or manually shutting down the line helps immediately. I'm using:
sudo ifconfig en0 down
sudo ifconfig en0 up
At first I suspected hardware problem but the same line works perfectly under Windows (with even higher load, and tcpip.sys patched to 1000 connections).
It acted like this from the very first moment I got it and I have no clue if I should contact service or wait for a patch or maybe just stick to Windows (just kidding)...
I've browsed the forum and it seems I'm not the only one with the problem:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=649927
but this topic is unsolved... There's nothing really strange in system.log:

Any hints appreciated. It's a beautiful machine and I'm so sorry it doesn't work as it should...

evans_re,
does the trackpad not work? If it works, you could try selecting “Shut Down…” from the Apple menu.
As a last resort, you can hold down the power button for approximately ten seconds, which should force a (non-clean) shutdown.
If your keyboard is completely non-functional (excepting the power button), then you should take it to an Apple store or other qualified service facility.

Solaris 10 x86 JumpStart install not working

I'm working with several Compaq DL380 servers.
I've installed Solaris 10 x86 3/05 onto DL380 #1, and created a 3GB servername.flar Flash Archive of that system.
I've moved that .flar file to a local web server. I can bring it up in any host's browser on the local subnet, and am able to download the .flar file.
Now, on DL380 #2, I can install Solaris from CDs and open Mozilla and download the 3GB .flar file to /tmp. So, it is reachable. However, if I do a re-install, and this time specify a JumpStart install via HTTP, entering the URL that works, the install program tells me that it can't find a Flash Archive there. I'm entering the URL as http:/10.20.30.40/servername.flar, where 10.20.30.40 is the local web server. This is the same URL that works on other local hosts. (i.e. going to http:/10.20.30.40/ brings up the list of files, and a right-click on servername.flar gives you the option to download it, which I've tried and it does work - it takes a few hours, but it works)
I tried HTTPS first and when I encountered this issue I reconfigured the web server for just HTTP. Then I thought the Flash archive must require a .flar filename extension (I had originally called it servername.archive) so I created a new Flash archive with a .flar extension - servername.flar.
So, the same system, when installed from CDs, can access the web server and download the .flar file, but when re-installing and specifying the same URL it can't find it. I'm giving the DL380 #2 the same IP, same netmask, etc.. when doing the re-install.
I can't think of anything else to try. Any ideas?
thanks!

Here is the error output:

Both thunderbolt display and ethernet stopped working at the same time

I use recent Macbook pro 13inch retina. I use both of thunderbolt ports on ethernet and display.
I was messing around with application, and I found chess game. I played it for while than my display and ethernet suddenly stopped working.
I do know ethernet and display is working fine because My roommate still have access to the ethernet, and My xbox still works on my display monitor.
So, I suspected its thunderbolt problem, and I reinstalled Mavericks twice and reseted SMC and NVRAM, which didn't solve anything.
Do you have any suggestion before I take this computer to Apple store?

So the ports still work, and the display still lights up when you use it with your xbox? Are you sure about the xbox part, I didn't think the thunderbolt display worked with an xbox.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/24060376#24060376
Do you have the LED Cinema display? Look at the back, do you have 3 USB ports or 3 USB ports, firewire and ethernet?

[SOLVED] Ethernet stops working after a while

When I work on this computer, the ethernet stops after a while, sometimes this is after 2 minutes, sometimes after half an hour. When I do
sudo /etc/rc.d/network restart
everything works again for a while. The internet doesn't work in chromium nor pacman so it isn't just one application.
Anyone knows how I can find the cause of this?
Thanks already!

Also, tell us about your network. Are you plugged into a corporate or school network? your own private router? into a DSL or Cable modem?
When it stops, what is the output of ip link ??
of ip addr ??
of ip route ??
What is the make, model and chipset of your NIC?

USB Ethernet stop working after hotplug

I have found that my Apple USB Ethernet dongle stop working if I plug in another USB device. This happens both using a USB hub, and when plugging directly into the MacBook Air. I also see this problem when using a similar dongle from another supplier (called AX88x72A). The USB Ethernet dongle works fine after booting, with status "Connected", but if I plug in another device like my phone or a USB drive, the status changes to "Cable Unplugged" after a few seconds, ifconfig no longer show the en1 interface, and syslog gives a few error lines such as:
Fri Jan 13 13:17:19 Airbook-II kernel[0] <Debug>: en1
Fri Jan 13 13:17:19 Airbook-II kernel[0] <Debug>: Ethernet \[AppleUSBEthernet\]: Link down on en1
Fri Jan 13 13:17:19 Airbook-II kernel[0] <Debug>: AppleUSBEthernet::prepareForFlash - Link down, Device 87bf600
Fri Jan 13 13:17:19 Airbook-II kernel[0] <Debug>: AppleUSBEthernet::prepareForFlash - Link down, Device 87bf600
After this, I must reboot the MacBook Air to get the dongle working again. Do anybody know how to force the AppleUSBEthernet driver to rescan the device tree (or something similar)?
With regards,
Birger Retterstøl Olaisen

I have exactly the same problem here (MacBook Air 2,1 - OSX 10.6.8). After several tries (and reboots!), I've found that an unload/reload of the USB Ethernet driver works.
Note that operation is not automatic: I have to execute commands in a terminal in order to retrieve my Ethernet connection... but it is far better than a reboot!
So, if you want to test my method, once you have plugged a USB key (or after an hotplug of your USB-ethernet dongle), you can execute these commands on your terminal (note there are 2 lines and no space in the kext name, a space may be inserted by this forum):
sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBEth ernet.kext
sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBEth ernet.kext
Of course, i've made a small script with these commands, and copied it on my PATH so it is even easier to execute it. It works perfectly for me, and I hope it could help.

Ethernet stopped working

My ethernet has stopped working, can I get it working again or does it need repair?
I've rebooted the iMac and during boot I can see the router port light shows some activity but then switches off before boot is complete. The ethernet shows as not connected in System Preferences/Network. I have tried changing the ethernet cable. I have tried moving the ethernet cable to another port on the router. I have tried rebooting the router.
Can anyone offer further ideas?

Hi,
I have had this problem with my old iMac 24" and now my newer (20 month old) iMac 27".
Have had both these machines to Apple and have been told that the ethernet port is faulty. The only solution is an expensive board replacement.
This appears to be a serious weakness with the iMac, as I know of others with the same problem.
My 4 year old PC (Windows OS) on the same network, does not have a ethernet problem, neither does my Macbook Pro.

Solaris 10 x86: Update Manager quit working and shows empty warning message

All,
A little while ago my Update Manager stopped working. When I check for updates, I am getting an empty warning message box that has literally no text but only a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in the upper left corner and an ok button.
Once confirmed, nothing happens. Googled the issue but so far no luck.
Any hints?
Thanks
