[laptop-discuss] Re:Solaris 10 Network Drivers

[Christian Kelly]

At this point the driver is attached to the hardware, but that's it. The interface hasn't any TCP/IP configuration. You can grab a dhcp address like this:

ifconfig rtls0 dhcp

Then check to see that you got an address:

ifconfig -a

You'll probably see something like 192.168.1.xxx. You could then try pinging the default router, probably 192.168.1.1

After that, you need to set up DNS. The contents of your /etc/resolv.conf will be something like this:

nameserver 62.231.32.10
nameserver 62.231.32.11

Then modify your /etc/nsswitch.conf so that it has a line which reads:

hosts files dns

You should check out intemenu to save yourself some time: http://opensolaris.org/os/community/laptop/inetmenu/
