I have a basic Linksys NC100 network card and according to Sun's website it is compatible with Solaris. I have Solaris 10 installed and it is insisting that it is disconnected even though it isn't (I'm using it right now with Windows XP). When I do a ifconfig command it shows the card with an net address of all zeros.

I've tried to find a Solaris driver for the card but I haven't had any luck. Is there anything I can do?

Thanks!

# ifconfig -a


if above command shows ur nic device othen loop back lo0 -- probably ur system recognise ur

network card. Only rest to do network configuration.

either manually do configuration by editing /etc/hosts or /etc/netmasks /etc/hostname.interface

or do simply type sys-unconfig and after system reboots answer all questions regarding
system parameters. if solaris identify ur card , it will ask host name , ip adress , etc
careful not to select ipv6 . I beleive ur earlier configuration messed up with ipv6 .

pl check /etc/inet/ipnodes
