README.txt Driver File Contents (N-FX-ST-02.zip)

This is the VIA Rhine family NIC driver for Solaris.  Rh will work with
VT86C100 (Rhine I), DL10030 (Rhine I), VT6102 (Rhine II), VT6105 (Rhine
III), built-in Rhine II ethernet mac in VT8235 and VT8237 south bridges.
It is distributed under the BSD license.

To install the driver, execute the script for the platform you are using:

	1. For 32 bit Sparc:
	
		# sh rh-install-sparc.sh
				
	2. For 64 bit Sparc:
	
		# sh rh-install-sparc64.sh
		
	3. For Intel x86:
	
		# sh rh-install-i386.sh
		
	4. For AMD 64 bit cpu:

		# sh rh-install-amd64.sh
		
		
After script completes, configure the IP of the device:

	   # ifconfig rh0 inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0"
	   # ifconfig rh0 up"

Modify /kernel/drv/rh.conf file to change parameters for this NIC Card."

Troubleshooting
----------------
Q. Following message is printed in the /var/adm/messages file
    NOTE: rhN: link up but auto-negotiation failed.

A. This massage appears for Rhine I chips when the link partner does not
   have auto negotiation capability.
   Please disable auto negotiation capability for your NIC card by specifying
   the correct media mode in /kernel/drv/rh.conf with the following syntax:

   rhN-duplex=["full"|"half"] rhN-speed=[100|10]; # where N is a unit number

  For example
	rh0-duplex="full" rh0-speed=100;   # full-duplex 100Mbps for rh0
	rh0-duplex="half" rh0-speed=10;    # half-duplex 10Mbps for rh0

Q. The driver cannot be unloaded because the device is busy, and the following
   message appears in /var/adm/messages file:
    NOTICE: rhN: rh_detach: buffer is busy

A. Wait for a little while until some modules in the kernel release receive
   buffers which were allocated by the rh driver.

Q. The system does not boot after the driver is installed.
A. Uninstall the NIC card and reboot solaris. Then, unregister the driver:
     # rem_drv rh

   Or boot solaris with -a option and use /etc/system.norh instead of
   default [etc/system]. This inhibits loading the driver.

   /etc/system.norh is automatically generated when executing 'make install'
   or 'make test'

Q. Solaris boots, but the network interface does not work.
A. Is the network interface running?

   Execute 'ifconfig -a'.  If you see an entry for rhN, the driver is loaded
   and working correctly.
   Please check the configuration of the network interface.


   Is an ethernet cable connected properly?

   Please check if the network interface is receiving packets.
