I saw a workaround somewhere too, but it didn't work for me. I specifically wanted to jumpstart over the interface, which is somewhat more demanding though. > Could you get the nfo driver to recognize the card?

I don't remember doing anything special to get the nfo driver in, but the normal things are to copy driver in place (32 bit and 64 bit versions), make sure there's a driver.conf file (nfo.conf in this case) even if it's empty, and then do the add_drv(1M) command. The error you got can happen if the 64 bit driver is missing when you are running a 64 bit kernel (and similarly for 32 bit) and probably also if the driver.conf file is missing. Also if the driver does load and the driver's attach routine doesn't find any suitable device to attach to. You could also try doing a modload(1M) of the driver binary just to see if there's any reason the module won't actually load into the kernel. The nVidia gigabit ethernet controller on my M2N-VM has a different PCIID "pci10de,3ef" from yours, so it might not behave the same. -- Andrew _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
