Adding network card

Added by TJ Trask 5 months ago

Hello,

I am running Developer edition 2.2.0. I am using a Dell PE 2900 III server for this task.

I have recently purchased and added a new dual port network card, an Intel PRO 1000 ET Dual Port PCI-E x4.

After rebooting the machine, I am not seeing the new interfaces. Is there a special command to search for new hardware?

Thanks !

Hi TJ,

2.2 is based on b104 of opensolaris.. and the igb driver supports igb "pciex8086,10a7" igb "pciex8086,10a9" igb "pciex8086,10d6"

The latest opensolaris build's igb supports

igb "pciex8086,10a7" igb "pciex8086,10a9" igb "pciex8086,10c9" igb "pciex8086,10d6" igb "pciex8086,10e6" igb "pciex8086,10e7" igb "pciex8086,10e8" igb "pciex8086,150a" igb "pciex8086,150d" igb "pciex8086,150e" igb "pciex8086,150f" igb "pciex8086,1510" igb "pciex8086,1511" igb "pciex8086,1516" igb "pciex8086,1518"

We'll be releasing developer edition builds using latest opensolaris build soon.

Meanwhile, you can try to add the igb driver for your card.. and see if that works.

add_drv -i '"pciex8086,10c9"' igb
