Problem with E521 Ethernet Connection

807559Jun 19 2007 — edited Jun 20 2007

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 with bge "pci14e4,170c".
2. Run the command modload /kernel/drv/bge
3. Run the command ifconfig bge plumb.
4. Run the command sys-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.

RIki
