Just an update about the network card issue. After upgrading to Solaris 10 5/08
It seems that the upgrade added the 'IPv6' now.
Could anybody comment which of the two (or both) are working?
The on-board network adapter (like anticipated) is still down.
bash-3.00$ ifconfig -a
lo0:
The output of the ifconfig -a command you posted shows that there are 4 logical
interfaces active on your system - two IPv6 and 2 IPv4. You have the local
loopback adapter (lo0) and your Realtek-based NIC (rtls0) configured.
The Solaris installer should ask you whether you want to enable LPv6
That's Attansic L1, it's not supported, see

dup of the previous bug)

This makes it all clear.
I hope to find some time to extract a new driver from the Windows driver.
In the meantime I took the easiest solution, which costed me an extra 10 euro.
Lucky it's just a network card and not a graphic adapter.

Your onboard network chip seems to be an Attansic L1 gigabit ethernet adaptor.
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a Solaris driver available for this.
Your best bet is probably to use the NDIS wrapper along with the Windows
drivers for this NIC. You can find the NDIS wrapper toolkit for
Thanks a lot for the feedback.
I will give this a try.

No - lo0 is the local loopback adapter. There are two interfaces for lo0 - one
for IPv4 (the top one) and one for IPv6 (the bottom one). The only other
interface is rtls0 - which will be the card which you added. This shows that
Solaris hasn't attached a driver to your onboard network
I tried to post two times the complete readout of 'prtconf -v', but it
disappeared after a while.
Is there perhaps a post length limit on this board?

Copy the output into a text editor, then trawl through it and find any
references to devices with a description similar to Ethernet Adaptor. Post
the contents of the file around the lines that contain the description - about
10 lines either side.
Cheers

I found back the string 'ethernet controller' on two occasions:
I think the first one is the on-board

Hardware properties:

I'm currently using a simple Sweex network adapter for internet connection.
The reason was that the on-board network adapter did not work in Solaris 10.
How can I still see what is missing for the on-board network adapter.
This brings me to the following question, how are two network adapters in
Can you run the following command as root:
prtconf -v
then post the output here? Also, can yo utell us what network chip your
motherboard has on it?
Thanks
Andrew.

I tried the in verbose mode but the read out is quite long do you really need
this?
I'll try to figure out the chip set of the on board network adapter.
This is the motherboard: ASUS P5KR
By the way, I only plugged in another network adapter after Solaris 10 internet
connection failed. So, I
If I'm correct at least SXDE seems to recognize there is an on board network
adapter.
I will check for Solaris 10 too.
bash-3.2$ prtdiag
System Configuration: System manufacturer P5KR
BIOS Configuration: American Megatrends Inc. 020107/31/2007
Processor Sockets
This is what I found about the on-board network adapter:
PCIe Gigabit LAN controller featuring AI NET2
I'll check the manual of the motherboard for further details.
'prtconf' in Solaris 10, 'prtdiag' returns the same results as in SXDE.
bash-3.00$ prtconf
System Configuration: Sun
Yes - the verbose mode gives the detail required - specifically the PCI ID of
the network chip. From looking on the web, it seems that the chip on you
motherboard may be an Intel 82556DC, which is supported on Solaris Express
since build 58. Can you run the following command on your SXDE
Thanks for the feedback, this is what I got back for SXDE:
# ifconfig -a plumb
ifconfig: SIOCSLIFNAME for ip: rtls0: already exists

That message means that the rtls0 interface (which is a Realtek card) was
already plumbed - presumably this is the card that you bought? Can you run this
command as root:
ifconfig -a
and post the output here?
Thanks
Andrew.

That will indeed be the network card I added.
Here is the readout:
