You wouldn't be trying to use this on a vlan, would you? pcn hardware
is *really* old, andld can't support full MTU vlans.
I've actually been contemplating removing this driver... its the only
remaining ethernet driver that can't support full MTU vlans.
Additionally, its closed source, and the effort to modernize is probably
not terribly worthwhile.
If you have the option, I'd go get another card. There are a lot of 1Gb
cards (anything from realtek ought to work and would be cheap.) A good
replacement 100 Mb card would be a Linksys LNE100TX card (version 4.x or
newer), which can still be found at many retailers. (There are almost
no other 100 Mb NICs still on the market.)

Hi All,
Really hoping someone out there can help.
I am new to Solaris/OpenSolaris but have a reasonable amount of experience with
Linux. I have recently installed OpenSolaris 2009.06 snv_111b X86 on a HP
Visualize P750 workstation. The system is booting and running fine with the
majority of hardware and services operating correctly.
However I am having problems with the network adaptor that I cannot find a
solution to. The ethernet adaptor is an AMD PCnet32 LANCE and is using the pcn
driver. The adaptor is able to obtain an IP address and other network
configuration details via DHCP, however network performance is very slow and
unreliable. Web pages do not load, and establishing an SSH connection to the
linux box next to it takes around 5 minutes.
The same network card has been tested on the same physical network using a
Ubuntu live cd. Additionally I have tried another network cable and switch port.
dladm show-ether yields the following:
Link: pcn0 ptype: current state:unknown auto:no speed-duplex: 0M pause:none
MTU is set to 1500 (shown by dladm show-linkprop pcn0)
Not really sure where to go from here, but without a network connection the box
isn't very much fun! Any advice or guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Lee
