Solaris 10 Problem with Intel board network interface
807557Jun 24 2005 — edited Jun 27 2005I've just installed Solaris 10 on my Intel board with integrated fast ethernet interface. Installation went smoothly, except for the networking. I've already followed the guide on this link http://solaris-x86.org/documents/tutorials/network.mhtml. The problem is, I couldn't find anything such as /dev/iprb0 under /dev directory (iprb is for Intel Ethernet 100 VE). When checking from interactive boot, I got this line:
pci@0,0/pci8086,244e@1e/pci8086,3052@8 (which is the device for the ethernet on the pci bus)
Since there's no link such as iprb0 under /dev, I checked the /devices/pci@0,0 directory, and found these:
pci8086,244e@1e (directory, and in it, it contains no device file)
pci8086,244e@1e:devctl
My question is, how could I enable the network? Making link under /dev to pci8086,244e@1e:devctl doesn't seem to work. So I guessed there should be device file (ie. pci8086,3052@8) under pci8086,244e@1e directory. But how can I get this device file? Should I do mknod command? But I don't know how to get major and minor number under solaris.
Please help me... I am used to Linux, but Solaris is a totally different animal to me.
