Configuring/Installing a Network card on Solaris 10
807559Jul 14 2006 — edited Jun 15 2008Hi Folks, I am pretty new to this forum and solaris so please have some patience :)
Any way I got this testmachine I have installed Solaris 10 on. Its a IBM ThinkCenter A52 (8084-7DG). My problem is that the network card is not detected automaticly. No problems with the CDE no starting or something like that. Installed from a DVD.
I have tried running ifconfig -a / plumb, I tried checking for new devices with devfsadm -v. Ive also tried running the command for sys-unconfig. No go
Most recently I have been examining the output from running prtconf -pv/Dv. The network device is there on the PCI-bus but no driver is loaded.

So, the card is some sort of Intel Chipset a Intel 10/100 motherboard/onboard. Ive tried looking through the detailed specs from IBM on what kind of card/chipset it is. All it tells me is a Intel Pro 10/100 something.
So can anyone give me a hint of which direction I should be heading for installing the correct drive?
With Regards
