Problem with E521 Ethernet Connection

Dear Solaris folks

I have a Dell Dimension E521 computer and have been trying to connect to the Internet on Solaris but to no avail.

The following is what I did:

1. Edit the /etc/driver_aliases withbge "pci14e4,170c".

2. Run the commandmodload /kernel/drv/bge

3. Run the commandifconfig bge plumb.

4. Run the commandsys-unconfig.

The result was that at bootup the system was just continuing to reboot after filesystem synchronisation. I guess that there is no correct driver for the ethernet device.

I hope that any one can help. Thank you in advance.

helloglobe,

I don't know exactly what Broadcom Ethernet card you're using, but you could try the driver located here:

You can also take a look at this post on the forum, that might be of some help to you:
