need help configuring nic

Post by Jim McIntyr » Sat, 20 May 2000 04:00:00



I had my smc nic running fine, then I assigned another irq to it. I
reversed everything I did, but when I tried to restart the nic, no luck.
I have also lost kernel support for the driver (epic 100). Do I have to
rebuild the kernel with epic100 support.
Any help is appreciated.

restart the nic?
try restart the machine.

if your kernel is the same as before,
it should recognize the nic when you start.
if, that is, if you have 'start network' in your rc.
did you change anything about boot-level?

1. Need Help Configuring NIC on Solaris7 for Intel

I've been using Solaris7 in a stand-alone configuration on my PC for the
last couple of months, but now would like to
configure the NIC so I can migrate completely to UNIX.

I have been reading some of the NIC configuration sheets for connecting
to DHCP (yanick, stokely, and rite) and have
run into the following:

    1.  Win 95/98 indicates I have an  AMD PCNET  nic.
            A. docs.sun.com  says that it is an Allied Telesyn AT-1500
nic
            B. Re-ran Configuration Assistant and selected Specific
Scan:
                1) AMD PCnet-ISA 79C960/PC-net-32
                2) PCI - AMD79C970 PC Ethernet.

    2.  Following the configuration sheets:
            A.  Set up following files in /etc directory:
                    1)  dhcp.amd0
                    2)  hostname.amd0
                    3)  defaultrouter
                    4)  notrouter
                    5)  resolv.conf
                    6)  default/dhcp
                  I'm assuming that the interface name is amd0

            B.  Did not have the hostname to put into /etc/default/dhcp
file, so copied a script from Riley into
                  init.d/set_hostname:
                    1)  #!/sbin/sh
                         HOSTNAME=`cat /etc/nodename`
                         echo "Setting hostname to $HOSTNAME...   \c"
                         uname -S $HOSTNAME
                         echo "Done"
                    2) Tried to set up a symbolic link in root and
system responded with:
                            /etc/init.d/set_hostname: cannot execute

    3.    During system re-boot, noted the following:
                A.  DHCP starting on primary interface amd0
                B.  ifconfig: no such interface such as amd0

    4.   Can't get the web browser to connect ot any web site.
Indicated "host unknown".

What have I done wrong and/or what should I do next?

Any assistance would be greatly appreicated!
