Infrastructure Software

Hi,

I got a internet connection (ADSL) recently.


I can browse using Windows, but I cannot browse using Solaris 10 x86
(6/06).
I have a Gigabyte 8LD 533 Motherboard with 512 MB RAM, a D-link 520
TX ( I did not have much options. Rest were either D-link cards that
didnt look like they were


supported by Solaris at all, or other cards that were way too
expensive) and dual boot Windows XP SP2 and Solaris 10 x86 (6/06).


I googled a bit and found that Realtec drivers seem to work for some D-
link NICs so downloaded the RTLS211.zip file and unzipped the file.
This file created rtls (which is


32 bit executable), rtls.conf, Install (Installation script file) and
the read me file for Solaris.Followed the instructions and added
"pci1186,1405" in the Install file.


Then rebooted Solaris. Got the following message:


Notice:


RTLS: version 2.1.1 (640909)


RTLS Attach: Vendor ID: : 0x1106 Device ID: : 0x3106.


Mar 22, 06:12:04 svc.startd[7]: svc:/network/physical/:default


Method "/lib/svc/method/net-physical" failed with exit status 96.
[network/physical.default misconfigured. (see svcs -x for details).


However, ifconfig -a shows rtls0 with the correct MAC Address of the
NIC, but IP Address was set to 0.0.0.0.


( I hope I followed the readme file correctly, cause the first time I
tried it, it said it could not attach a driver to it, but the next
time when I tried it using the IDs after


doublechecking the output of prtconf and then ran the install file, it
said it had installed the driver).


Hence tried manually setting the IP Address using the following
command
ipconfig rtls0 (I used the same IP Address which was shown by
executing a ipconfig command in Windows XP).


Trying ipconfig -a again, it had taken the IP Address, the broadcast
IP Address too had been assigned automatically, yet I could not ping.


So googled again by typing the error message in search field and after
that did the following:


Updated the hosts file and the ipnodes file as shown:


hosts file
#
# Internet host table
#


127.0.0.1 localhost loghost ugrankar


192.168.1.100 rtls0 loghost ugrankar


ipnodes file:
#
# Internet host table
#
::1 localhost loghost ugrankar 127.0.0.1 localhost loghost
ugrankar


::2 rtls0 loghost ugrankar 192.168.1.100
rtls0 loghost ugrankar


Then ran the command svcadm clear network/physical.


Still no go.


Am I doing something wrong here? May be a very basic mistake? This is
my first time trying to get online with Solaris 10. Please let me
know.


Also see below some more files that might make things clearer.


Here is how my Install file looks:
#!/bin/sh
basedir="/"
drvname=rtls
drvconf=rtls.conf
set -x
# install driver
cp rtls ${basedir}/kernel/drv/${drvname}
cp rtls.conf ${basedir}/kernel/drv/${drvconf}
chmod 755 ${basedir}/kernel/drv/${drvname}
chown root:sys ${basedir}/kernel/drv/${drvname}
# update
# /etc/driver_aliases
# /etc/name_to_major
# grep "^${drvname}\>" /etc/name_to_major > /dev/null 2>&1 \
&& rem_drv -b ${basedir} ${drvname}
#add_drv -v -b ${basedir} -i '"pci1186,1301" "pci10ec,8139"' $
{drvname}
add_drv -v -i '"pci1186,1405" "pci10ec,8139" "pci1113,1211"' $
{drvname}
exit 0


And this is how my rtls.conf file looks:


#Driver.conf file for the RealTek 8139 chip

#

Is this happening because there is no driver for D-link DFE 520 TX on
Solaris 10?

Googled once again and found out the following link:
http://opensolaris.org/os/community/device_drivers/files/vfe.iso.tgz

Followed the instructions, but even that does not work.


Please let me know.


Sorry for such a long post.
