Hello,
I try do somthing...
Look first have you the right networkcard: look here
"http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/sol/components/views/networking_all_resul ts.page1.html"
If it is ok, so when you install Solaris 10 it can find the card. You can see when you install.
If you have Realtek RTL 8029AS, so it don't work in Solaris but in Ubuntu yes.
Read on the card withone you have.

hi
ok that page you refered me to says sorry we cant find your account
ok ill explain it slowly this time to you
i have solaris 10 on one partition
ubuntu on another
xp on ther 3rd
i only use xp for games
i love ubuntu linux but wanted to give UNix a try
i had bad luck getting freebsd to work and found out solaris is much more user freindly and nicer interface but i just cant get it to connect to the internet
this is what i have
solaris 10
VIA Rhine II Fast Ethernet Adapter
i dont see any hardware device that displays any network adapters in solaris
i have done so many things including gediting the
/etc/hosts file and adding the information people mentioned to me
still no luck
i even added the dns files thingy
still nothing
when i ping localhost it says alive
when i ping my routers ip its unreachable
when i ping my server pc on the other side of the room
its unreachable as well
i also get unqualified host when i reboot sleeping for a retry (not me sleeping lol)
any help woud be apreciated
thank you so much for your reply

Check the output for "/sbin/ifconfig -a".
If if only show the loopback device (lo0) then it means your network card has not been detected probably because there is no driver for it in Solaris.
You can get the driver from here: http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/vfe-2.3.1.tar.gz
Install the driver as per the instructions given in the package.
Run "sys-unconfig" to configure your network card.
If you are still having problems let us know.

# 4
hi
you were right for sure my driver is not installed
well ok i will try what you suggested
with that downloaod file you sent me to
since i cannot download form the unix right now
i did it from my XP Server
each time i try to extract the file it comes up with errors
as i said im new to unix i cant even find where my Floppy drive is mounted yet on the desktop rto even make any install attempts just yet :)
i am so use to linux knowing where the drives are mounted.so once i find the floppy drive il be able to
see if i can open its archive with the conmmands given in the readme notes
ill keep working on it till somethign finally works though
if i have to stay awake all night and day i will.
thank you

im having a hard time with this
after reading the readme text file
i did what it said and it kept saying not found or not a vald directory
is there an easier way
also i dont know what KARCH is
i never worked used these kinds of files before
so what i did was simply extracted the folder and foles into a home directory called crap
then i opened up terrminal from the folder crap
as root of course
and form there i am completley stuck
5) Make links to correct binary directory and Makefile according to your
configuration. i386 and gcc are default.
% cd /.../vfe-x.x.x
% rm obj Makefile
% ln -s Makefile.${KARCH}_${COMPILER} Makefile
% ln -s ${KARCH} obj
# 6
KARCH is the 'kernel architecture'. If you have a 32-bit PC, then using the
default for KARCH, i386, will be fine.
COMPILER is the choice of compiler. To see if you have gcc installed,
run this command:
# grep -w gcc /var/sadm/install/contents
If it's not installed, got get it from sunfreeware.com, unzip it, and
install the package (+ any dependencies) with the pkgadd command.
If/Once it is installed, add the installation directory to your PATH,
if it was not there already, for example:
# PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin ; export PATH
Then....
# cd /.../vfe-x.x.x
# rm obj Makefile
# ln -s Makefile.i386_gcc Makefile
# ln -s i386 obj
If you get a directory listing of vfe-x.x.x, both before and after running these
commands, you'll see their effect is to create a symbolic link (shortcut)
from a couple of template files to the ones the compiler will actually lose.
Having an unrecognised network card, and having to compile the drivers,
is a tough intro to Solaris. Good luck.
If you can't find any directories in crap called vfe--..... then please post
the results of running
# ls -lR crap
cheers
# 7
PS. To get the results of ls-lR over to your PC, use a USB memory stick, if you have one. It should show up under /rmdisk.Not that I'm pessimistic, or anything...
# 8
hi
i was able to find the floppy lol
ok now i did that terst to see if i had that
gcc and i probally dont becasue i got a whole bunch of lines that popped up with the words none in each line
so im still tinkering
WAIT i was wrong gcc is installed
i followed your commands
no errors were reported
i typed in those link copmmands you mentioned -ln
not sure what to do if i shoud reboot or hm
well my /etc/hosts file has my hostname in it already
so im not sure whats next
:)

either that didnt work
or something i did was not right
the commmands didnt reflect any errors
i did all that you said and still get the loo
my network card still is not detected
after running the command you mentioned and no errors came up
i also did the sys-unconfig
it only asks me host name
and if i wanna bypass the nis and i put in blabla.triad.rr.com
something loike that
still shows same thing on boot as well host unknown and sleeping for retry
# 10
The very first response in this thread
attempted to give you a link to the Hardware Compatibility List.
Try this link, instead.
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/
Try to determine if your Ethernet adapter is a compatible NIC.
Some Ethernet adapters are recognized natively.
Some require 3rd party driver software.
Some do not work at all, period.
If the NIC isn't one that works with Solaris, then you will need to install
a card that does work with Solaris.
# 11
hi
thank you
no my card wasnt in the list
im not sure why i thought i had looked a few days ago and thought i saw it but i was looking at the card on my other pc that im typing from
i dont want to switch cards just yet as i run a serrver on this one
perhaps in time i will
i hope im not wrong by posting other os here but
as of now for linux i prefer ubuntu
unix i woud like to prefer Solaris
but becasue of my situation right now i may have to go try freebsd for a while
till i learn some of this unix.you are very advanced
i wish there was a unix i coud use right now that actually works lol
i was able to get freebsd installed but was not able to start x
or xdm or even editing that file ttys
still nothign worked i had a black screen looping every 30 seconds
my luck with unix is really sad lol
anyone know of a unix thats user friendly like solaris
that i can try till i get a new ethernet card
thank you
for now ill go back to ubuntu
and swim with the penguins till i get things fixed
or if anyone has aim and wishes to help me at sometime i woud apreciate it
# 12
Once the steps below have completed successfully, as they
apparently have, then you have created the correct instructions
for compiling the drivers for your card.
# cd /.../vfe-x.x.x
# rm obj Makefile
# ln -s Makefile.i386_gcc Makefile
# ln -s i386 obj
Then you need to actually do the compilation.
Check to see if the 'make' command is in your PATH by
running the following command
# which make
If you get back an error message, it's not in your PATH.
If you get back a directory name, it is.
If it's not in your PATH,
# grep -w make /var/sadm/install/contents
(The word 'none' in that file does *not* mean a missing
file, BTW.
# man pkgmap
will tell you what the none means -- I've forgotten.
The first field of each row of results is the path to the installed
file. )
On my system, make is installed in /usr/ccs/bin, so I having cd'ed
into the directory of the Makefile (where you were ln -s'ing), I could
either run
# /usr/ccs/bin/make
or I could temporarily add the directory to my PATH, then run 'make'.
# PATH = /usr/ccs/bin ; export PATH
# make
Your make may be installed someplace else, so you'll have to adjust
these examples to suit.
If make completes happily, then your system will have the drivers
for your card installed.
To get the system to actually try to use the drivers needs one last
step:
# ifconfig -a
should only give you lo0, the 127.0.0.1 loopbak address
# ifconfig -a plumb
tries to find all the network cards it can
# ifconfig -a
should give you lo0 and another one (sorry, I don't know what your
card shows up as).
If any of the steps above fail, please provide the commands you ran
and the exact errors messages (good thing you found the floppy! :-> ).
Once you can see two results from ifconfig -a, run the following command
# sys-unconfig
This is the easy way to set up hostname, IP (DHCP), netmask & stuff
without hand-editing files -- it just runs the section of the installer
that would have run, had your card been detected in the first place.
# 13
hi again
well no even after all that work and the sys-unconfig
the only option it left me with as usual is hostname
and to bypass nis
and of course the famous Quote
unknown host sleeping for a retry
i reboot
i check that little network icon in the lower right corner
subnet mask still says 255.0.0.0
when it should be 255.255.255.0
heres what i normally woud use as host name
Greeneyed--Lady-0
192.XXX.XX.100
triad.rr.com
if you have aim (aol instant messenger)
perhaps sometime you can walk me through this again
im a slow learner but im very persistant
i sometimes stay awake for days trying to solve things and i ask many questions
# 14
> hi again
> well no even after all that work and the
Did you get two sets of results from the 3rd ifconfig -a ?
What did they say? If you only got lo0 back, the card is still
not recognised.
If you could try
# devfsadm -v
then
# ifconfig -a
# ifconfig -a plumb
# ifconfig -a
and post the results, that'd be handy.
> i reboot
> i check that little network icon in the lower right

Sorry, I've not used whatever window manager that's in.
What does ifconfig -a say after reboot?

Interesting, but sadly academic until we can get your card detected.
# 15
Hi Heatherval,
Sorry I was'nt very clear in my reply.
Solaris does'nt have drivers for your card...but there is this good guy at http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng who's writing drivers for some unsupported cards.
The Via Rhine II NIC appears to be supported according to site (using the vfe driver) - so you should be able to get your NIC running.
Gcc is available on Solaris. You will find it somewhere in "/usr/sfw".
1) Make sure you have gcc in your path just as "kidari" pointed out. Actually I am just repeating the same things he's already said.
Check by entering gcc on the shell, if you get something like "command not found" then you have'nt set your path properly
2) extract the archive:
# gunzip -cd vfe-x.x.x.tar.gz | tar xf -
3) # cd vfe-x.x.x
# rm Makefile obj
type the following exactly as shown (note the backquotes):
# ln -s Makefile.`isainfo -n`_gcc Makefile
# ln -s `isainfo -n` obj
4) compile driver
# /usr/ccs/bin/make install
# ./adddrv.sh
# devfsadm -i vfe
reboot computer
# init 6
hopefully all went well and your card gets detected.
now we need to configure your network:
# sys-unconfig
On reboot the system lets you configure the network settings such as your hostname, whether you want to use dhcp, ip address etc.
When it asks you to choose between NIS, DNS etc you probably want to select NONE.
After the system comes up check "ifconfig -a". If it shows "vfe0: ...." then success!
So now your network card is functional but you may not be able to connect to the Internet just yet as that will require some more configuration and that depends your setup modem, adsl?

i may have to start all ovre again from scratch
its ok though im use to it
i thik i have installed about 12 differnt distros in the past 2 weeks
and narrowed them down to 3 i like best
sometimes best to learn by trial and error
repartioning
thatws one thing i dont like is when i lose whats on a partition
its easy for me to have xp on one part and linux or unix on the other part
but very difficult to have 3 all at once without making a mistake and losing them
which was the case in solaris 10
so ill have to reinstall all over again
oh the output i cant paste now since i dont have that runnign right now but it was still the same as before the changes i made
i think what ever i did i may have done it wrong
thats why it still did not see my card
its ok though i dont mind reinstalling im use to it
# 17
its quite ok
((I AM Gonna take a cat nap
i been up for 2 days with this
ill try all of this later on ad see what happens))
i may have to start all over again
im not too good with this setting path thing
i know i have done it in xp long ago but this whole unix thing is still too very new to me
yes the drive you pointed out to me from that site was the asame driver
as the one kidari" but from differnt link
i htink i lost the partition and may have to start from scratch again
keeping the notes you and everyone else gave me as refrence
i htink the instructons you all gave me were correct
but i must have done somethign that didnt register
example when i get this tar or zip file
i save it in my home folder and extract it right there
so all the command lines / .. or .// may be confusing if im alredy inside the folder

hi
ok heres my terminal output even after installing the driver
which i belive this time i may have done correctly but im not sure
still no change and even on boot up same messege as before
unknown host and sleeping for retry
anyways here ya go

Thank you for the output in your post of 3.35PM, 31st Aug.
A small reordering of the steps in the output should
fix things.
> # cd /
># /usr/ccs/bin/make install
>make: Fatal error: Don't know how to make target `install'
So the make command *is*installed in /usr/ccs/bin.
We can tell that because otherwise the error would be
something like 'command not found'.
This is also confirmed by your listing of /usr/ccs/bin further
down.
But because the current directory (/) has no Makefile,
make can find no instructions to follow.
># which make
>no make in /usr/sbin /usr/bin /usr/openwin/bin /usr/ucb
So the 'make' command is not in your PATH.
That's okay, you can just call /usr/ccs/bin/make directly,
as you did above. That's simpler than changing your PATH
to include the directory (but see my instructions earlier for
how to do that in future).
Your ln -s'ing all looks okay.
Now we need to be in the correct directory, and call make
directly.
The correct directory, from your output, is /crap/vfe-2.3.1.
That is where the Makefile that you ln -s'ed exists.
So, two steps to install the driver.
1.
# cd /crap/vfe-2.3.1
2.
# /usr/ccs/bin/make install
That's it for the driver. If it fails, there's no point doing the ifconfig
and devfsadm stuff. If it works, on you go!
PS. Without wishing to cause offence, might I suggest
going through the material at
http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/ ?
# 23
If the make install fails this time, please post the output.Thanks.

im beginning to suspect my /etc/hosts file is misconfigured
i have a feeling everythign you showed me went through fine
but could i be right?
maybe i shoud have this in my hosts file
192.XXX.XX.100 green-eyed-lady-0greeneyed-lady-0.triad.rr.com
is that what could be happening
becasue right now it only lists
127.0.0.1 localhost and i for got whats after that
# 25
> im beginning to suspect my /etc/hosts file is
> misconfigured
Your hosts file is entirely irrelevant until the system
can see your card.
What happened this time when you ran make install
in the vfs directory?
What happened when you ran devfsadm --v?
/etc/hosts is read much much much later.

One more thing: Ephemera pointed out the need
to have gcc in your PATH.
Please try
# which gcc
If that gives you 'no gcc found in....' then please check that
gcc is installed in /usr/sfw/bin by running this command
# file /usr/sfw/bin/g
# 29
ok Solaris is workng again (installed)meaning i still have to start from scratch what you showed meill do that right now

Whoops, truncated.
Check gcc is installed by running
# file /usr/sfw/bin/gcc
That should return stuff about 32-bit ELF executable, &c.
If it does, then we need to add gcc to your PATH by
running this command:
# PATH=$PATH:/usr/sfw/bin/ ; export PATH
Then try which gcc to see if worked
If which gcc works ok (ie, tells you it found gcc in
/usr/sfw/bin, then go ahead and do my numbered
steps 1. and 2. from earlier today.
If the 'file' command returns 'cannot open: no such...',
then we need to find gcc. Please run the following command,
and post the output:
# find /usr -type f -name gcc
# 31
ok heres my output
i think im haging confusion on paths
like if i wanted to have the path the way you had it how would i go about it
im confused with paths

The only change to your PATH we *need* to make
is to add gcc to it. We can simply run make ourselves,
providing a full path.

Small lethal typo -- css instead of ccs
Should be
/usr/ccs/bin/make install

Must be no spaces either side of the = sign when

Okay, that probably worked. To see the effect
of changing your PATH, run
# echo $PATH
before & after the change is made. You should see
the new directory at the end of the list.
Or just try and run a program in the new directory without
providing a fully qualified path to it.

Also need to add gcc to your PATH before running make install.
If gcc is installed in /usr/sfw/bin. then
PATH=$PATH:/usr/sfw/bin ; export PATH

When forum threads get as long as this one,
I begin to get a headache and my eyes glaze over.
Am I missing something here, however ?
I don't see any information as to what Ethernet adapter is actually in this computer.
What do you have here?
An earlier update mentions downloading some supposed drivers.
Which ones?For what Ethernet chipset?Are they for your chipset?
If they're not for your NIC, you can compile tham all you want, they won't help.
You may just be over-thinking all of this.
Take a breath.
Clear the mind.
Back up and begin once again.
# 34
i have the rhine II driver
two peopel besides yourself directed me to the driver
that they say is not guarenteed to work
so no one knows for sure
i hope this works
anywys ok i read that thingy about paths
im still confused lol
too many symbols
set path (bla bla )( very lost here
maybe you can type something simple for me to make a temporary path
or assign a path name make somethign up
and ill try that poath name
also when i typoe oijn this
path = /usr/css/bin/make ;export path
am i supose to type the words export path in or do i replace those words with the path name
im completley lost here
i nptice that iof i typed in
path=/usr/css/bin
i dont come up with any errors
yet if i type in which make
it shows me so many differnt directories rather then ther /usr/css/bin directory
# 35
hm soemthign happend or didnt happen
i just retyped everythign and didnt see any errors
im rebooting now
i may have to also go to the sys-unconfig
i notice when i do sys-unconfig my password no longeer works for common desktop management so i camn manage networksa
the password seems to get lost when i do a sys-unconfig
anyways ill let you knowq wehats happening
i recordered my output before the reboot
# 36
For background on PATH variables,
http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/~matloff/UnixAndC/Unix/ShellIntro.html
This is what you type in to add /usr/sfw/bin to your PATH:
echo $PATH
PATH=$PATH:/usr/sfw/bin ; export PATH
echo $PATH
That's it. We don't type in 'set PATH', we have no spaces
either side of the equals or the colon, we only name the
directory, not the actual program, and PATH is in BLOCK
CAPITALS whenever it is mentioned (or else the computer
will ignore it).
This is what you do to add /usr/ccs/bin to your PATH:
echo $PATH
PATH=$PATH:/usr/ccs/bin ; export PATH
echo $PATH
That's it. Same rules.
>i nptice that iof i typed in
>path=/usr/css/bin
That's the correct value for the PATH,
but PATH must in BLOCK CAPITALS and
exported, as in the examples above.
>i dont come up with any errors
You don't come up with any errors when?
The PATH can be set to anything you like, including non-existent
directories. It's when one tries to run commands (like make)
that you'll get the errors (or not).
>yet if i type in which make
i>t shows me so many differnt directories rather then ther /usr/css/bin >directory
What does it show you, exactly?
# 37
>i may have to also go to the sys-unconfig**Please** don't do a sys-unconfig until you'verun the devfsadm and ifconfig commands mentionedearlier and posted the output .Until your card is detected, there is absolutely no point.
# 38
no change still the same
also if i now try to run the command from inside my vfe-2.3.1 directory
rm obj Makefile
it says no such file or directory
when Makefile is in that directory
if all esle fails i dont know what to do
i may use freebsd since i had an intrnet connection there but no sound LOL
geesh am i a mess or what lol
# 39
Just run make installand tell me what happens
# 40
make installMakeinstall:not foundthats what happened
# 41
make install as two words,right?If so, then make is not in your PATH.Please run the following three commands.PATH=/usr/ccs/bin ; export PATHecho $PATHmake installand tell me what happens.
# 42
each time i type inPATH = /usr/ccs/bin ; export pathit says path not found
# 43
***No spaces*** either side of the equals sign, please.And PATH should be in BLOCK CAPITALS.With your cut&paste, the computer is seeing path (gap) = (gap)and therefore tries to run a command called path.
# 44
evemn after all that
i notice something
if i dont put a space between
PATH=/usr/ccs/bin ;export path
no error comes up
if i type a space in like this
PATH = /usr/ccs/bin ;export path
then i get an error path not found
how exactly shoud i type it
# 45
> evemn after all that
> i notice something
> if i dont put a space between

That's because it worked.
> if i type a space in like this
>
> PATH = /usr/ccs/bin ;export path
> then i get an error path not found
> how exactly shoud i type it
****no spaces****
And the path in export path should be in BLOCK CAPS.
PATH=/usr/ccs/bin ;export PATH
# 46
ok here what i just didPATH=/usr/ccs/bin ;export pathecho $PATHi get this/usr/ccs/binnow what do i do :)
# 47
Great. That worked fine. Except that you needed
to export PATH, not export path.
Unfortunately, in all the excitement I've slightly misled you.
Saying PATH=/usr/ccs/bin ; export PATH , as I suggested,
means your PATH is only /usr/ccs/bin, and all your other
commands will have disappeared.
Please close that window, open another one, and in the
other one, type in
echo $PATH
PATH=$PATH:/usr/ccs/bin ; export PATH
echo $PATH
This will add the /usr/ccs/bin/ directory to the end of your
existing PATH, instead of overwriting it entirely.
Then, we need to add the directory containing gcc to your PATH
echo $PATH
PATH=$PATH:/usr/sfw/bin ; export PATH
echo $PATH
Once that work, please run make install in the vfe directory and
post the output.
# 48

make is in /usr/ccs/bin, not /usr/sfw/bin
Because it's been added to your PATH, eventually,
you can just run the command 'make' without
having to provide a fully qualified PATH. That was
the point of adding to your PATH.
It is gcc that is /usr/sfw/bin, as you demonstrate
below

Bingo, make is in your PATH.
But it needs to be run in the same directory as the Makefile,
/crap/vfe....
> # make
> make: Fatal error: No arguments to build
Ok, make is in your PATH, but you need to be
in /crap/vfe when you run it.
> # Make install
> Make: not found
> #
make needs to be lower case. Small m.
Previously I suggested you change directories to /crap/vfe...
and run make install.
a) export PATH
b) cd /crap/vfe....
c) make install
Please try that, and post the results. Thank you.
PS. for a) + c), please type in exactly what I typed in
# 50
ok i shoud have saiud im not using crap folder anymore im sorry
what i have as folder in my home direcory is
vfe-2.3.1
also i notice im lost
when i type one thing in one window
and i open another teminal path is not the same
maybe becasue its a temporary path
ok im lost
lets say or rpetend we are at square one
my folder
vfe-3.2.1
whats the next step
i woud say
rm obj Makefile
i think we shouf start over so i knwo where i am
# 51
You're right, the PATHs we have been setting are only
temporary. Exceedingly temporary, without the export.
There's no need to go deleting files in /vfe... again,
and recreating them. That's been done a million
times.
Do this, which may be familiar from earlier postings,
and post the output. Please do not try variations on
these instructions on the off chance.
cd /vfe-2.3.1

Woo-hoo.Now you have the driver.Moment of truth: ask the computer to see ifit has any new hardware (like a network card,for example).Stick a network cable in the card, run# devfsadm -vand please post the output.
# 54
actuallynothign happend loli typed indevfsadm -vnothigh happend not even an error
# 55
That's me all out of ideas, then.
devfsadm tries to find new devices (plug & play, almost).
The -v option asks it to report what it found.
If it reported nothing, it almost certainly found nothing.
You could try
ifconfig -a
and see if you have more than just lo0 reported.
If you do, fine. If not, wait for the next version of the
driver, or the next release of solaris, or go buy a
cheap supported card.
The good news is that you know how to compile
drivers now: it's pretty much always the same steps
of setting the PATH, then running make install in
the right directory.
Anyone else got any ideas?
PS. One last shot:
# reboot -- ' -r '
Npte the spaces that are needed either side of
the single quotes, and either side of the double-minus. This is a reconfigure boot (an older version
of devfsadm). Once it's rebooted, try
ifconfig -a
# 56
hmi typed inreboot -- ' -r 'nothgn happed reallymaybe im typing the characters wrongor maybe it wod be easier for me to typesys-unconfigand have it reboot for me
# 57
sys-unconfig does a different thing. It does not find new devices.Did you put in a space either side of the double-minus?reboot(gap)--(gap)'(gap)-r(gap)'Does a plain reboot work?reboot
# 58
ok its rebooting i addded the spaces like you said
# 59
panic cannot open rpress any key to reboot
# 60
waiti rebootedthis time i didnt see unknown host or sleeeping for retryim in desktop looking now
# 61
ok nothign happenedno changelet me try sys-unconfig
# 62
oh nooooafter reboot it says unknown hostsleeping for a retry all over again geeeshmaybe my card is not detected but i learned alot of typing skills as well as comands :)thanks to you and thanks to everyone else who had helped me
# 63
Ok, press any key to reboot, let it come all the way up, log in,and type in the command again. I think you missed the minusbefore the final 'r'reboot--'-r'
# 64
no actauul what happend waswhen i did use the corrrect spacing between the -it did rebootr but gave me more options of what to boot into besides safe mofde there was a boot transient thingthats what i chose then it came up with that panic error
# 65
ok this time it safley rebootedand im on desktop now
# 66
ok
nothign changed
nothg happened at all even after typing
devfsadm -v
or
ifconfig -a
ifconfig -a plumb
ifconfig -a
still all the same
nothign changed at all
no connection
th little network light always blinks but no connection
btw im behind a linkysys router
never had trouble with any os with it
# 67
new ideaill try another network card i just happen to have around thats handyill put that in and see what happens ill be back soon i hope sooner
# 68
ok other card is inside the machinei rebootrednothign changedmaybe ill try another sys-unconfig with the new cardi dont know what brand card it is
# 69
no good :(oh well i guess we ran out of optionsbut at the same time i still learned alot today
# 70
hey its ok
i appreciate everything you have done as well as everyone else who tried getting me through this.aparently my hardwareis not supporrted
for now till i get a better card ill
use freebsb (unix)
and
ubuntu (linux)
so sad here i was having fun with all thwe commands and typing
thank you again :)
one day im sure we will have it working

"i dont know what brand card it is"
You will have to hold the add-in card in your hands
and examine the chipset for identifying information.
The same is true for whatever was already in the computer.
Please get a flashlight and a magnifying glass and inspect it.
You went through all that compiling, earlier,
working on the Rhine driver software.
It took quite a bit of time, without functional success.
Inside the Rhine download was a README file that specified
what Ethernet chipsets the software would work with.
They're not some generic catch-all package, it's specific.
If the driver software isn't for your hardware chipset, it just won't work.
(not for network chips, nor graphics, nor SCSI controllers ... )
# 72
ok this is the other handy card i had laying around

OK that's some progress, at least.
into the wrong direction, but it's some progress.
There are no drivers for that Macronix chipset unless you want to run Microsoft Windows.
I tried a few quick Google searches on the chipset.
Window, Windows, Windows.
Nothing for Linux, not for MAC OS, not for FreeBSD, or any of the other usual suspects.
Get a different card.
3COM 3C-905TX, Intel PRO100, DEC 21140, RealTek 8139
... or ANY of the cards mentioned on the [url=http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/sol/]HCL[/url].
They're not going to be expensive.
(Here's an example of a RTL8139 card at an online retailer.)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833127102
You can get [url=http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloads1-3.aspx?series=16&Softwa re=True]RealTek Solaris drivers on the RealTek website[/url].
That's a chip manufacturer that cares enough about their product.
Your time is worth more than the effort you've put in so far.
# 74
ill keep those cards in mind you mentioned
and get one of them possibly in a week or two
then we will be back in business :)
thank you
ps
i save each and every note from here i do
i copy them to disks as well as backups and review them

hee yea
wwll i just realised the server im typing from has this card inside
Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethe
if that card is compatiable i can interchange them
since this one is using XP
ther one we want runs solair :)
so hopefully this card i have works?
Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethe
anyone else here knows?
thank you

hi
hey everyeone
the
Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethe
just happen to be in my server pc the opne im typing from now
i just interchanged them.soon as i installed the realteck one in the other machine
Solaris immediatly starting asknig me to configure the card it found
amazing :) well ok problem solved thank you for all your help and your good teaching skills.
# 78
whew
never mind all is fine now
i belive when i was setting up my internet my server on the network was
conflicting with the ip address on this machine.so i temporarily shut down seems fine now
also the realtek card works great
soon as i put it in i saw much more options in configuring the internet
thank you everyone
very much for all your help and teaching

Hello heatherval,I am happy too, that your problem is over.I have not read in many days here, because I had the parallel problem.I have too the same network card (8139) like you.Martti
# 80
thank you
yea gee i feel stupid in a way i had the card all along
sitting on my network server machine
so i just swapped the cards
once i did that all the network config options opened up to me
hey but i leaarned alot anyways so it really doesnt matter :)
im stil experimenting wit solaris and freebsd
two differnt drives
# 81
Don't mean to mess up the issue here.
I have the same issue. Solaris 10 V5.10
On tulip driver command.
/usr/ccs.bin/make install fails.
Make is OK no path issue since it is direct. I think it is the "install" part of the command.
Also what would be a package? The driver has and I386/entry for a few tu files. Could I just package add the tu file?
