I'm not sure why you are getting driver failed to attach (is the NIC enabled in the BIOS?), but even if it does, the following bug will prevent nge working: CR 6658667 nge - ethernet address reversed on nForce 430 chipset on ASUS M2N motherboard I had no luck with nfo on that chipset either for different reasons. It does read the ethernet address correctly unlike nge, but it can't actually transmit and/or receive anything. Sorry, but IME, you'll need to put a separate ethernet card into that system (and you might as well disable the built-in NIC in the BIOS). -- Andrew _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
