Hi, The number of usable NIC's is higer on OpenSolaris than on Solaris 10. Solaris 10 comes with supportcontracts and problems are solved with patches you apply which is great in production environments.
OpenSolaris is always ( as yet ) development snapshots of the codebase at a given point in time. There is no patches. Solving a problem is done by Upgrading or Reinstalling a later Development snapshot , which is called a Build level . Will this solve you present problem with the NIC ? Maybe but probably not. The NUmber of interesting combination's of networking chips on motherboards out of Taiwan is a marvel to behold. Its probably less frustrating to get hold of a few of these and move them to the PC one uses for the time being. http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/products/pro1000gt_desktop_adapter.htm http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/products/pro1000pt_desktop_adapter.htm This message posted from opensolaris.org
