I would like to second the request for out of the box support for Marvell Ethernet Adapter.
Case in point: I am using an Apple MacBook as my desktop and day to day admin either snv or Solaris 10 systems. Yesterday I tried the 2008.05 LiveCD release on my MacBook, only to find out that while the CD boots, and GUI loads, neither the wireless (Atheros 5424 A/B/G/N) nor wired (Marvell 88E8053 Gigabit Ethernet) are supported out of the box. Yes, I can get the syskonnect driver or edit the PCI IDs in drv.conf somewhere, but in order to do that, I have to get the syskonnect driver onto the laptop in the first place. Seems like USB key is the only way to do it at the moment. Some information on LiveCD and MacBook is posted at http://forums.opensolaris.com/thread.jspa?threadID=254 As an aside, a big thank you to the Nevada team for expanding support for Nvidia NICs. While recently re-installing SNV_87 on MSI P4N SLI motherboard, I noticed that onboard nge0 (mCP04) was detected by the installer out of the box. This system was oldish, and used to run snv_57 before, and back then I had to use Masayuki Murayama?s free driver (Previous experience is documented at http://www.theconsultant.net/archives/2006/11/25/203/ ). Thank you for making it easy. stany This message posted from opensolaris.org
