Have you tried rge(7D)?

Yes: "no such device or interface". This is the onboard-Nic in GA-P35DS3R.

What's the output prtconf -pv?

The /dev/rge0... is not present. How can I build this special device? I
think this was an error during the installation. I have disabled the
internet access, ssh and another.

I have successfully installed the package but /dev/rge0.. is not present.

Which Solaris release are you using? It's odd that the package wasn't
installed.

If 10 or later (if not, why not?), try running sys-unconfig to wipe your
system's config and see if you can set up the networking once it reboots.

I have 08/07 on Intel 64bit.

scroll down and look under Unix

Define no success.

Were you asked to configure networking, or was that section skipped?

If that section was skipped the device PCI-id may not be recognised by
the driver.

As JG asked (twice), post the output of prtconf -pv

Sun's rge(7D) might work with this device.

# update_drv -a -i '"pciex10ec,8168"' rge
# devfsadm
# ifconfig rge0 plumb

If not, you'll have to try another driver.

install an intel nic and never worry about this again.

During the boot I receive "Unexpected token 8168 in /etc/driver_aliases" and
"Missing alias for pciex10ec in /etc/driver_aliases".

Wolfgang

I have fixed the line in /etc/driver_aliases, but no success.

Wolfgang

a question: In the package SUNWrge are two drivers, one for intel and one
for AMD. Is the intel driver only for Itanium and all other Intel cpu need
the AMD driver?

Wolfgang

I will make a test with the other driver.

Not sure that makes any sense. The kernel decides which
of them to load -- only one of them will ever be loadable
depending how the kernel is running.
