Hi Dirk,
Can I force 64-bit Solaris to use the vmxnet drivers? How do I check what
type of drivers I'm using?
ifconfig -a shows:
bash-3.00# ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232
index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
e1000g0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index
2
inet 192.168.16.21 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.16.255
ether 0:50:56:82:71:fa
e1000g1: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index
3
inet 192.168.20.21 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.20.255
ether 0:50:56:82:5f:18
Thanks.
Regards,
Alan
