Install SUN Solaris 10 X86 in Dell Optiplex 620 with Broadcom 5751 NIC

I shall be very grateful if any one would offer his/her advice of the followings:

1) How do I copy a img file, i.e bcmedu.img which file size is

1.47MB to a 1.44 diskette when the PC is unable to

connect to network?

2) Where can I get a copy of the driver for bcme.bef to be

install in DELL Optiplex 620 with Broadcom 5751 NIC?

3) Is there a way to install NIC driver through other media other than diskette in Device Configuration Assistant?

Note: I have followed the Installation and Configuration Guide provided by SUN and Boardcom but has yet to make the network card detected despited I have been re-installed the OS many times.

Your great help is much appreciated.

Regards,

swee

i was facing the same problem just hours ago.

i successfully installed broadcom driver into solaris 10 with Dell GX280

i copy broadcom driver into a CD and run it on solaris pc.

i copied out the file into a directory and use pkgadd -d BRCMbcme.pkg and voila. My pc detected the network card.

Then start configuring your network.

It works for me. Hope it works for u.

remember to read the readme file which come with the broadcom driver.
