Solaris Intel ( Network Card )

Having problem to connect Solaris 8 Intel on Network. Using IBM PCI 10/100 Ethernet Adapter. Check hardware compatibility list, and the card is in the list.
I gave two computer, with Linksys 4 port hub. Give the computer name comp1 with ip address 10.0.0.5 with subnet 255.255.255.0. No NIS and DNS. Tried to ping comp1 , and here is the error :
ICMP Host Unreachable from gateway localhost (127.0.0.1)
for icmp from localhost ( 127.0.0.1) to comp1 ( 10.0.0.5)
Where seems to be the problem ?
Any good resource on solaris unix networking website as well ?

Hi
This is message indicating that your network is not finding the route to
the 10.0.0.5. Since its looking from 127.... it probably means that you
have not setup the networking properly.
Check the output of
$ ifconfig -a

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"

use of the hardware with the solaris network driver.

Intel network card

Hi all,
After few days struggling with laptop install for solaris 8, at the end of the day, I successfully run solaris 8 on my laptop. I got my built-in network card to work and graphic card to run at best resolution.
One thing I'm not quite sure is error message that I received after few hours doing network stuff. The error msg as below :
"WARNING: iprb0: statistics generatefailed."
"WARNING: iprb: device never responded."
I tried to bring down the interface and up again but no luck. The only solution is to restart my laptop which is bad. I already applied latest patch for iprb. Anybody could shed some light on this case, please?
Thank in advance.
regards,
zonex

The network card can go bad yes. Here is what i would recommand you do is call tech support and get a case number and send it in for repair also get a shipping address so you can send the thinkpad with the bad network card in for repairs
Thanks
Keep me posted on this.

Device failed to start - Code 10 - Intel Wireless Card on NB550D

Hi everyone,
It's just a normal Toshiba NB550D netbook
The only thing that I change is the Wireless Card inside it: the original is a common Atheros half mini card. Recently I have the urge to use internet in 5 ghz (frequency).
Thus, I decide to replace the old one with the *half mini card Intel Wifi Link 5100 AGN*
It doesn't turn out so well. The driver is not recognised or more precisely the windows tries to install the driver but FAIL is reported. Device manager tool shows an "!" next to the network card and when I go the its properties at general tab: "*The device failed to start - Code 10*"
I tried many ways to uninstall the driver and reinstall again ; also tried to download drivers from toshiba website for intel network card.
Nothing works so far and yeah I just don't know what to do now.
The possibility that the intel card is broken or malfunctioned is eliminated because I checked that with another laptop already and it just worked like a charm.
Please help me solve this problem. I really need to use dual band (2.4 and 5 ghz) internet.
Appreciate any help!!

>The possibility that the intel card is broken or malfunctioned is eliminated because I checked that with another laptop already and it just worked like a charm
Regarding the error code 10:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943104/en-us
+The Code 10 error pertains mainly to hardware and device driver issues or to compatibility issues between hardware drivers and additional software that is installed in Windows.+
I dont think its Wlan card issue it could be a compatibility problem between the BIOS and the WLan card.
Not all devices are supported by BIOS.
But at the other hand the WLan card appears already in device manager and therefore I think there should not be a BIOS compatibility issue.
Did you check if chipset would handle the Wlan card properly?

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.

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.

Which network cards works with Solaris 8?

Hi,
I am installing Solaris 8 on a PC but I am having a problem finding a network card that the system will recognise.
I have tried HP and Intel cards but always see the error message "iprb: iline value out of range: 255"
Is there a particular brand/model of card that I should get?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Jon

Hi,

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

Network cards for Solaris 8 x86

Which network cards are supported by Solaris 8 x86 ?
Thank you !
dorin.

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.

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.

Unauthorized network card is plugged in - Intel 7260 Wireless-AC PCI card

I tried to replace the wireless card (Intel(R) Centrino(R) Ultimate-N 6300 AGN) in my ThinkPad W530 with Intel Wireless 7260-AC card.
I got the following error message during start up:
Unauthorized network card is plugged in 8086/08B1/8086/4070
The intel wireless 7260-AC should be used by new thinkpad W model such as W540.
Is there anyone know how I can resolve this problem?
Thanks a lot!
W530 2436-CTO, i7-3610QM, Quadro K1000M 1920x1080 Display with color sensor, 32GB DDR3 1600 RAM, Intel 256G SSD,500GB 7200rpm Hard Disk, BIOS 2.59

Unauthorized "ways" that would likely put any warranty at risk.

Alternative to Intel Wifi Link 5100 AGN wireless network card?

I'm finding that my Intel 5100 AGN wireless network card is not performing as well as it used to. I've tried everything... even drivers are fully up to date. But I keep losing connection to my wireless router, even though connection strength is between 3-4 bars. I find that I rarely get dropped if I have 5 bars. But if it weakens to 3, I get periodically dropped no matter what wireless network I am using.
I want to replace this card with something better, but of course compatible with the HP dv5 (my specific model is dv5t-1000). Any recommendations?

Hi, Gary:
What I meant by my statement regarding you having the better of the available cards for your notebook is that, yes, I am sure the Intel 5300 is an improvement over the 5100, but the problem is you can't install the 5300 in your notebook.
The Intel 5300 is not supported (only the cards/part numbers listed in the service manual can be installed) and your notebook wouldn't boot until you removed the card.
You can try a different card listed in the manual if you want.
However, you are limited to the:
Broadcom 4322 802.11a/b/g/n WLAN module
Broadcom BCM4312 802.11b/g WLAN module (not a wireless N card)
I suppose you can use an external USB adapter but I would get one with an external antenna connected to it, because I would have to believe the 3 antenna wire setup in your notebook has to provide superior reception over a plain USB wireless adapter with an internal antenna as its only antenna.
The antennas go all the way up to the top of your screen.
Did you fiddle around with your network card's advanced settings? They can be found by clicking on the card in the device manager, clicking on the advanced tab. make a note of where the settings are now so if something goes buggy, you can change them back.
Here is a guide to the advanced settings you have and the recommended settings for them.

What 100MB Network Cards will Solaris 2.5.1 auto-detect

I need a PCI network card that Sow-lrais 2.5.1 will recognize. It must be 100baseT. The ones it enumerates at install time are aincient -- SMC/Western Digital, etc. Any modern cards that will work?
Please help me move on -- I've wasted days digging for old cards and trying them.
Thanks
Daniel

elxl comes from the elxl driver. I am afraid that you probably can't just change this behavior. Why would your vendor do such a thing though? To me that seems incredibly stupid.

OpenGL and GLX on Solaris Intel

Can OpenGL and GLX be added to Solaris Intel without having to use Xfree86?
I have built the Mesa libraries but still need the GLX extensions.
Does any one know of an easy solution?

Hi Senthilkumar,
Thanks for reply!
I found a couple of intel 10/100 network cards in our town, there are INTEL N232 10/100 PCI, INTEL PRO100+ 10/100 PCI, Intel 8460 10/100BT, I am not sure which one you were talking about, can you give me some detail information please?
Thanks again.

How to configure Netgear FA510C Network Card

I installed Solaris 8 (Intel) on my laptop(Compaq Presario
1275) and have NetGear FA510C network card to be
configured. When I installed Solaris, it didn't recognize
the network card, and I have no idea how to configure
this network card. Does any have any idea how to
install and configure this network card?
I'll appreciate your help.
cwpak

Try to use devfsadm -v to find the device
Then use ifconfig dnet0 (not positive this is the right syntax for SMC) to plumb the device.
Then use ifconfig dnet0 192.168.50.4 up
You may have to modify these files to get the IP to come up on startup and properly resolve:
/etc/hostname.dnet0
/etc/netmasks
/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/defaultrouter
/etc/nodename
