Contents: --------- (A) Installing/Uninstalling the driver under Solaris 7/8 (B) Changing the Media Type in Solaris (A) Installing/Uninstalling the driver under Solaris 7/8 ================================================================ (A.1) Installing the driver 1. If the system is already on, enter su [ENTER]. You will be prompted for the root password. Otherwise, power up the system, and enter the root password when prompted. 2. Insert the Driver Disk. We recommend that you use the command 'volcheck' to mount the Floppy driver by following command: # volcheck 3. Add the driver packages by entering the following command: (a) If Driver is placed in a Floppy Disk. # cd /floppy/floppy0/solaris/x86 # ./installer (b) If Driver is placed in a CD-ROM. # cd /cdrom/cdrom0/solaris/x86 # ./installer Then following the screen instructions to complete the installation. 4. Make hostname.afe0 to make Solaris system load the driver during system up. # uname -n > /etc/hostname.afe0 Now the hostname.afe0 file contains the hostname of your Solaris system. 5. Configure the Hosts File to configure IP address of the adapter. Please Refer to Solaris Document for more detail.

If you are not already root, it will prompt you for the system's root password. # pkgrm GEDenetd (B) Changing the Media Type in Solaris ================================================================ After installation, you can set Media Type in afe.conf file under /kernel/drv/ directory. All the supported Media Types are listed in the file. Defaults: The default Media Type will always be "AutoSense". Following is the default setting in the afe.conf file: AutoSense; ### AutoSense #speed=10 full-duplex=0; ### 10BaseT #speed=10 full-duplex=1; ### 10BaseT Full-Duplex #speed=100 full-duplex=0; ### 100BaseTx #speed=100 full-duplex=1; ### 100BaseTx Full-Duplex #speed=100 full-duplex=0 fiber=1; ### 100BaseFx #speed=100 full-duplex=1 fiber=1; ### 100BaseFx Full-Duplex For example, if you want to set Media Type to 100BaseTx, modify the afe.conf like following: #AutoSense; ### AutoSense #speed=10 full-duplex=0; ### 10BaseT #speed=10 full-duplex=1; ### 10BaseT Full-Duplex speed=100 full-duplex=0; ### 100BaseTx #speed=100 full-duplex=1; ### 100BaseTx Full-Duplex #speed=100 full-duplex=0 fiber=1; ### 100BaseFx #speed=100 full-duplex=1 fiber=1; ### 100BaseFx Full-DuplexDownload Driver Pack
