         How to install Solaris/x86 version 7 or 8

1. This is the first beta version (v1.00) driver and used for
   Solaris/x86 version 8 or 7.
2. It does not support Speed/Duplex-Force mode, it depends on 
   the hardware Nway auto-negotiation in this version.
3. It supports the Realtek's native PCI-VID_DID cards, 
   VID_10EC_DID_8169, in the install script.
4. Install method:
    a. Power-off your PC and insert your RTL8169 adapter.
    b. Boot-up you Solaris/x86 and login as "root".
    c. Copy the "rtlg100.zip" into the temporary location in your
       hard-driver.
    d. UNZIP the "rtlg100.zip" and you will get 2 files, "rtlg" and
       "Install".
    e. If the PCI ID for your RTL8169 adapter is not VID_10EC_DID_8169,
       you can modify the "Install" file to match your PCI ID, 
       VID_ABCD_DID_WXYZ for example, modify the "pci10ec,8169" to 
       "pciABCD,WXYZ".
    f. Run the "Install" from File Manager to install the driver, and 
       it will modify 2 files, "/etc/name_to_major" and "/etc/driver_aliases"
    g. You need to create the "/etc/hostname.rtlg0" file and modify some
       other related files to make your networking environments working well.
    h. You can execute "touch /reconfigure" then "shutdown -i5 -g0", so that
       Solaris will reboot and scan changed
       hardware environment.
    i. You can execute "ifconfig -a" to make sure the RTL8169 driver is up.
