cnet pro200wl installation problem

807559Apr 15 2002
I am not able to install/configure Cnet pro200wl NIC card.

This card has Davicon chipset. I did downloaded a driver from Davicom liked to http://www.freebsd.org/~wpaul/Davicom/3.0/dm.tar.gz.

Instruction given to install does NOT relate to Solaris 8 intel. Can (please) anybody help me how to do in solaris. The method given is as under

(
- Make sure you have the kernel source unpacked under /usr/src.

- Copy if_dm.c and if_dmreg.h to /sys/pci.

- Copy dm.4 to /usr/share/man/man4.

- Edit /sys/conf/files and add a line that says:
pci/if_dm.c optional dm device-driver

- Edit your kernel config file (e.g. /sys/i386/conf/GENERIC) and add
a line that says:

device dm0

Note: this one line is enough to detect multiple adapters. If you
have several DM9102 boards in your machine, you do not need to add
additional lines to the kernel config file.

- Make sure you also have a line that says:

controller pci0

The Davicom controller is a PCI device, thus you must compile your
kernel with PCI support in order to use it.

- config and compile a new kernel

- copy the kernel to the root directory, then reboot.

Interfaces should be detected as dm0, dm1, etc... You should edit
/etc/rc.conf to have the interface brought up automatically when the
system boots.)



Please help.

Note: My system config is 1. Solaris 8 for intel
2. Dell 4400/p 4/1.5GHz/128mb/20 gb hddd.





Thank you very much
