Hi,
The nework card is not detected,(while it is done by ubuntu)
I don't know which name I have to use to configure the card,
Is there a procedure or a program which can help me, (for the moment I am using indiana (in-preview,OS11), I think the probele is the same for open solaris 10.
Is there a program which gives the info of hardware.
I ve the site, but you need to connect to internet to install (detect HW) that is problem, I can't do it since I don't configure the card?
So I need local package running on solaris, Perhaps lspci gives something info?

It's a Java application that will run in Windows, Linux, etc. There's no need to run in it in Solaris. Moreover, it's supposed to be an application to check hardware _before_ installing solaris.
Distribution: Solaris 11.4, Oracle Linux, Mint, Debian/WSL

Rep:
And if you insist running from the installed Solaris, you can run /usr/X11/bin/scanpci to get your NIC manufacturer and device ids.
Moreover, the device detection tool is included in the Solarix Express media since 9/07 so you won't need network access to run it. Not sure if that applies to the Indiana preview but you can still record a recent SX iso to run the tool.
I tryed to install openSolaris on my laptop Compaq,it didn't detect the hard disk ?? while indiana( opensolaris) and debian detect it.
here are reference of my HD:
description: SATA controller
product: 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7 Family) SATA AHCI Controller
vendor: Intel Corporation
physical id: 1f.2
bus info: pci@0000:00:1f.2
logical name: scsi0
version: 01
width: 32 bits
clock: 66MHz
capabilities: storage msi pm ahci_1.0 bus_master cap_list emulated
configuration: driver=ahci latency=0 module=ahci
thanks for help
Hi, That is ok for detection , just I disable the sata in BIOS,
Now I have another problem, I have declared vfat and ExtDos partition, solaris saw them like this. So I have
partition 1 : declared solaris ( bf) where I had install indiana, which by the way works fine,
partitions 2, decalred extended
partition 3 and 4 vfat
I wanted to replace indiana by opensolaris in the same partition,
at the installation step i ve gotten the following error :
Error: Starting Cylinder (1) precedes Cylinder (3)
The disk is; c0d0
part offset MB type
1 63 15689 130
2 32..... 68402 5 extended partition
3 171...... 9633 12 vfat
4 19....... 20749 12
the swap slice is c0d0s1 and
solaris slice table is:
slice start cyl MB
2 0 1998 15673
Of course I have a grub menu in the MBR, has it any effect on the beginning of the system!!!. Or because other OS partition are detected( no problem reported when I install linux system )
