On an install of Soalris 10 (11/06) on an Compaq EVO. The install went
well, until I tried to connect to a network; solaris did not see or know
about the "network card" that came standard with the box. How do I get it
see and understand the network card in the box?
Thanks

Hi
You don't give any details on the nic?? Was the nic discovered during
boot?

The result from the prtconf is as follows:
# /usr/sbin/prtconf -v | grep pciclass,0200
value='pci8086,103b.e11.12.81' + 'pci8086,103b.e11.12' +
'pcie11,12' + 'pci8086,103b.81' + 'pci8086,103b' + 'pciclass,020000' + 'pciclas
s,0200'
value='pci10b7,9055.10b7.9055.24' + 'pci10b7,9055.10b7.9
055' + 'pci10b7,9055' + 'pci10b7,9055.24' + 'pci10b7,9055' + 'pciclass,020000' +
'pciclass,0200'
I put another known card in to get the box up.
The machine is a Compaq EVO D51C
The network card in question is integrated on the motherboard.
On the install I do not believe the NIC was discovered. Once I put the
second card in, that was seen directly (3-Com card).
Thanks

Thanks,
I did as suggested - it did not attach, I think because the interface is
wrong. I will retry once I think I have the correct interface to try.
Thanks - at least I think I have a direction.
