Hello everyone. I was using OpenSolaris 2008.05, but discovered that the Sun Ray software does not play nice with it. I've been using Solaris on and off, so I'm far from a Guru. I've gotten the impression that OpenSolaris = New School, and Nevada = Old School in terms of installation, feel, etc. When doing the install for OpenSolaris, it was extremely easy, aside from the ethernet card driver. I ran into the same issue with Nevada, and attempted to follow my same actions...Well, here's the issue:
Upon bootup - no connectivity - skge0 shows as being up, and using my static IP address I assigned it, but pinging of other hosts on the network does not work. However, if I do an ifconfig skge0 down, and then an ifconfig skge0 up, all works well?! I'm not quite sure where to proceed with this. Here's what I did: SNV 99 install, using option 3, picked a ZFS system. Installed everything. Named root pool ospool (had pool from OpenSolaris rpool, didn't want to destroy it...). Rebooted. Remembered there was no connectivity, after logging into GNOME. Copied driver from CompactFlash. Installed using pkgadd, which forced me to pkgrm skge98 (I think). I had to remove all references to it in /etc/driver_aliases. Ran the pkg install, added my device: skge "pci11ab,4320" Ran sys-unconfig Rebooted Ran through configuration Rebooted Opened GNOME Network configuraiton panel, which told me about NWAM, I hit "continue" to turn it off. svcs does indeed show network/physical:default as being online. Anyway, still no connectivity. Then I tried the ifconfig down and up..and it works. So, short of setting up a small init script, how can I fix this across reboots? Sorry if this is a newbie-ish question. I was very happy with OpenSolaris 2008.05 until Sun Ray killed me...
