Hello everybody,

my first Solaris installation (Intel Version 8 ).

Realtek Ethernet-Card unrecognized? Cant bind IP.
Works Solaris with a Teles ISDN-card.

Is it not supported?
Under Linux both are working.

Thanks
Greetings from Germany

Check the HCL for solaris 8, if its there then check the NIC again and if
all else fails try another driver. (BTW The HCL is located at docs.sun.com
if you don't know, you'll find quite a bit of useful info there. They have
docs on everything.:)

1. PCMCIA Ethernet Card Driver Problem - SMC EZ Card 10/100 PC Card

I just bought an "SMC EZ Card 10/100 Mbps PC Card", which from looking at
some lists of supported cards, looks like it is supported by tulip_cb.  
However, apparenly tulip_cb has been integrated into tulip for the 2.4
kernel using the hotplug interface.  

The card is detected.

"cardctl ident" reveals:

Socket 0:
  no product info available
Socket 1:
  product info: "SMC", "8041TX-10/100-PC-Card", "", ""
  manfid: 0x01bf, 0x8041
  function: 6 (network)

After adding the manfid info to /etc/pcmcia/config, it recognizes the card
by name, but fails with one high and one low beep.  /var/log/messages shows:

Jan 18 23:54:53 localhost cardmgr[1067]: initializing socket 1

Jan 18 23:54:54 localhost cardmgr[1067]: + Hint: insmod errors can be
caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ
parameters

I'm running a RedHat 7.1 system  Does this mean that the tulip driver is
not compatible with my new card?  If so, can anyone recommend a very
well-supported and compatible pcmcia ethernet card?

Thanks,
bg
