SunSoft Solaris* Troubleshooting Issues


If the network interface did not initialize when the system booted, the following information may be helpful:

  1. To determine that the driver is installed or to get the version number of the driver, execute the following command:

# pkginfo -1 INTCGigaE

  1. To ensure that the adapter is recongnized by the operating system and the driver, run this command:

# prtconf -D|grep e1000g

Expected results should be something like this:

pci8086, 1176, instance #0 (driver name: e1000g)

This shows that the driver recognized one Intel network adapter and that the correct driver (e1000g) is associated with this adapter.

  1. To configure the interface manually, run the following commands:

# ifconfig e1000g0 plumb

#ifconfig e1000g0 inet <ip_address> netmask + broadcast + -trailers up
