Hi Hazvinei,
What's the device id of your integrated network controller? You can get
it with prtconf or scanpci.
Maybe the bundled nge driver can work on your system. It supports the
following PCI devices.
"pci10de,56" "pci10de,57" "pci10de,269" "pci10de,268" "pci10de,373"
"pci10de,372" "pci10de,3ee" "pci10de,3ef" "pci10de,de" "pci10de,df"
"pci10de,38" "pci10de,39"

Been able to painfully make it through installing opensolaris on Gigabyte
GeForce 6100/Nforce 430 motherboard. I had mistakenly assumed that the painfree
installation on nForce590 XFX board with a XFX GE7900 meant good across the
board support for nvidia chipsets and boy was I wrong.
In any event i have been able to overcome an out of sync issue with the display
and suffered through installing the latest nvidia drivers. The only thing I
need to accomplish is getting the network card working, don't care about sound
because this is going to be a file server. Solaris was picked for its
reputation and ZFS, but it has come at a price that I am starting to wonder
about.
Back to my issue, I have tried unsuccessfully to install Murayama's nfo driver. I can never get the drivers to compile and always get an error saying make doesn't know how to make install. I tried just copying the precompiled binaries, but still no luck. I have only gotten as far as getting the interface to show up as active in x-windows, but I am not even sure if this is correct or not.
I have the nfo driver attached to pci address 3ef and 269 without any issue. I
have configured all the necessary host files, etc. I have tried to go through
different remedies I have seen on the internets(!) but no dice.
If someone could help me with either (i) compiled binaries for an amdx2 system
in 64 bit, (ii) a troubleshooting walkthrough for resolving my compiling error,
check whether the system is actually interacting with the interface, and
anything else that can help me. I followed all the steps in the readme, tried
them in different order, etc. So I am pretty much stumped. Also, any chance
that I can get over this by going with a different distribution?
If I cannot get this working this weekend, I am going to look to a linux,
freeNAS, or linux-with ZFS solution. Solaris looks and sounds great but the
sheer hardware and driver crapshoot is always going to be its achilles heal I'm
afraid and that means I will have to send more money to redmond for low quality
products that usually work.
