Very Computer

I'm new to solaris and currently installed all. Unfortunatly somehow the
network setup routine during install does not work for me, so I skipped
it.

I just want to get the machine connected to the net. I've searched the
docs and sun's site but did not found anything that would help me.

I'd like to know which interface do I use for my nic? It's a 3com nic.
I tried to create /etc/hostname.elx0 (don't remember currently) but when
trying to get it up, I received an error like bad file number.
I tired to use dhcp, too. Then I received an error saying no interface
found or something like that.

So which interface am I supposed to use with a 3com nic?

How can I see whetehr solaris did recognize the nic and which driver is it
using for it? On startup it and scanning it sees a pci nic.

Can anyone help? Where to find some documantation that would help?

TIA

Andreas

you should also take a look at the output of

I solved the prob. The problem was, that Solaris does not have drivers for
my NIC. But luckily I've found some at 3com's website. Now all works. I
only get a strange error on boot. Maybe U have an idea where it comes
from:

elbc : WARNING:
elbc0: no active connection found, please connect

It's strange, because I'm connected to the net and all works. So what does
this error wants to tell me?

TIA and greetings,

Andreas
