Hi Mike,

I suggest
 # pkgrm via-rhine-ethernet             # to remove the old one
 # pkgrm SUNWvr                         # to remove the possibly partial 
installed new one
# pkgadd -d nvx117/Solaris_11/Product SUNWvr # to install the build 117 one

Regards, Joost

Joost,

Yup, the 1.35 version of the driver has not been updated to the version in b117.
Any steps to sync/update the driver up with b117??


Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,

Could it be that the old (pre-crossbow) driver is still installed?

Modinfo should reveal version 1.42 for the new driver and 1.35 for the old;
# modinfo | grep 'VIA Rhine'
300 fffffffff86b7000   6cb0 276   1  vr (VIA Rhine Ethernet v1.42)

Just updated from 2008.11 to build117.

I'm was using the VR_1_35_OS_2008_11 driver for my network on 2008.11
(downloaded from here http://joostm.nl/solaris/vr/) - and everything worked nicely.

I was hoping that updating to build117 would make my NIC work --- without having to install a specially complied driver since it has the SUNWvr GLD3 driver pkg --- but no luck.

I'm attaching a screenshot of my desktop.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Mike

Are you asking if you can update from 2008.11 OpenSolaris to build 117 SXCE? If so, you can't (well not in any easy, supported or foolproof
   way).  You would need to reinstall.

That said, build 117 just hit the /dev repository so you could update
   from 2008.11 to 2010.02 b117 via pkg image-update.

   Cheers,
