3c589 & pcelx on Sol 10 x86
807559Jul 16 2004 — edited Jan 19 2007...another problem with NIC's on x86:
according to pcelx(7D), 3c589C is supported by this driver under pcic, but prtconf doesn't show
any children under the controller. I've also tried:
1. 3c589D, it's not recognized as well.
2. pctc driver, although I got it to compile and eventually load (this driver requires "cs" which no longer ships with Sol10, so I've used the driver from Sol8), no luck.
3. initpcic driver (along with the all the steps from README ;), again, the driver loaded, but none of the 3com Etherlink III cards were being recognized by the system.
However, both cards work w/out issues on RH AS4-beta (2.6.5 kernel) which is installed on the same labtop (IBM T20).
Any suggestions, besides spending $$ @ http://www.lynnsoft.com, are appreciated.
PS: At least I got ext2fs work on Solaris 10 |-)
