Re: [osol-discuss] No network/Internet
Guys, i wish to thank you very much for all the help you gave me. I am right now running OpenSolaris 2010.03, without any weird errors. Even the network is successfully working. Thanks for helping me fellows! PS: I am new to the forum so i don't now how to close a topic... But that's it. Problem solved. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

I have plugged in my flash drive and suddenly my mouse's left button stopped working. Firefox won't startup, i get a lot of errors when changing the display language from en-US to pt-BR... So, i will not use OI until the stable release (AKA Foreverware, version 2011.Q1) come out. I'll try out OpenSolaris 2010.03 (the only, latest, and last release of OSOL, build 134). And if things get working right out of the box (and i don't have any issues like the ones reported above), i will post my experience here. - Off-Topic question: Did Oracle really cancelled opensolaris? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

I can't find anything on the Broadcom site about AC131, but if it is just a PHY connected to the nForce MAC then the nge code is pretty generic. On one motherboard I've seen an issue with nge driver is bringing the PHY out of low power mode after warm booted from another OS. Since there isn't device specific code to handle this, sometimes a cold boot is needed to put the PHY in a state where it works with the nForce MAC. ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-discuss] No network/Internet
Hello Willian! In the upper right corner of gnome, it says the conection (in my case, nge0) is active If you see nge0, then the OS has recognized it. when i try to manually configure the internet, NWAM disables my network adapter. (And won't re-enable it). First, you need to disable NWAM. Enter the following commands: svcadm disable svc:/network/physical:nwam svcadm enable svc:/network/physical:default Then, configure the interface manually. If it does not work, then show us the exact commands you typed in. It should look something like: ifconfig nge0 your.ip.address.here/24 up route add default your.router.address.here I am assuming that you are on a 24 network (sometimes called class C).

In case the interface nge0 is now visible: does ifconfig report the correct MAC address for the nge interface? Sometimes the MAC is reversed, and the nge interface does not work. Like this: http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6658667 IIRC, although bug 6658667 is marked as closed / fixed, there were still a few cases where the nge interface reports the reversed MAC, and you had to use the workaround from bug 6658667... The only adapter available after doing this commands is now lo0. - But the annoying fact is that if i run OpenSolaris under VirtualBox, the internet works. VirtualBox emulates an intel hw ethernet nic, so that a different solaris driver is used. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Re: [osol-discuss] No network/Internet
So i followed this command (ifconfig -a plumb)... And then the command doesn't returned anything... so i think my adapter isn't supported... I have tried to detect the interface before configuring it... and the command shown my NIC. But... when i configured it... it was just disabled... I have seen that this behavior is a system bug, so, can i try the work around shown on that page? If yes, how to do it? (I am new to solaris). There's a project called OpenIndiana... (The continuation of OpenSolaris, that's newer and should support newer hardware.) Do you guys (experienced users) recommend me to try this new solaris distro?

Re: [osol-discuss] No network/Internet
So i followed this command (ifconfig -a plumb)... And then the command doesn't returned anything... That is normal. Type ifconfig -a afterwards to see it, like Casper said. so i think my adapter isn't supported... Your adapter is supported, don't worry. I have seen that this behavior is a system bug, so, can i try the work around shown on that page? If yes, how to do it? (I am new to solaris). You don't need a workaround. Just type ifconfig nge0 plumb ifconfig -a and you should see the interface nge0 appear. If it does not, send us the output of dladm show-link and cat /etc/path_to_inst Good luck -- Volker -- Volker A.
