I believe there is a bug with the way iprb is configured after installation.
After I had installed Alpha 1 the iprb driver wouldn't attach. I needed
to add an extra entry to the /boot/solaris/devicedb/master and
/etc/driver_aliases files to match the entry for the device in prtconf -v.
Below are the changes I made. Are this files generated dynamically on
install or are they statically set?
This isn't a bug, per se. There are many revisions of Intel/PRO
chip and you happen to have one in your machine which hasn't been
fully tested with iprb. Nevertheless, it may Just Work by adding
a correct driver alias to it, such as what you've done.
BTW, I believe the correct entry in /etc/driver_aliases is:
iprb "pci8086,1050"
Also, you don't really need to worry about devicedb/master file
now that Solaris doesn't use real mode driver any longer.
Keep using your machine and if you don't notice any problems
then let me know; I can extend iprb to support that particular
Intel/PRO chipset in NexentaOS. It would also make sense to
let Sun know about this, so that they can make similar changes.
