ASUS A7N8X-E Marvel Yukon 88E8001 problems

I have downloaded the Solaris driver for the Marvell Yukon 88E8001, which is the ethernet adaptor on my A7N8X-E Deluxe motherboard.

I am tying to install Solaris 10 on a PC with an ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe motherboard. I have got the operating system on OK, but I can't get the drivers to work.

I have followed the instructions and tried to instal using:

pkgadd -d . YUKONXsol

The scipt runs and reports a successful installation and asks for a reboot.

However, the driver does not appear to have installed properly.

If I do an ifconfig -a it is only finding the loopback and not the Yukon driver.

If I run yukonx_vlan_config it does not find the yukon driver either.

I don't know what to do. Any help would be gratefully received.

Many thanks,

Chris.

I have giving this problem a little more thought. Has anybody got the Marvel Yukon 88E8001 drivers to work with Solaris 10?

Secondly, my PC contains lots of 'extras' PCTV card, webcam, scanner, PC Raid card etc. Is it likely that these are confusing Solaris? I am thinking of stripping the machine down to a basic configuration and trying again. Is it likely to help?

It appears to be the only Marvel chipset on the Solaris HCL.

Glance here:

... for a reference to 3rd party drivers.

This thread may eventually need to move over to the Networking forum, once the installation issues are covered.
