         How to install Solaris/x86 version 7 or 8

1. This is the third beta version (v1.03A) 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 3 PCI-VID_DID cards, VID_10EC_DID_8139 for Realtek's
   native, VID_1113_DID_1211 for Accton and VID_1186_DID_1301 for
   D-Link in the install script.
4. Install method:
    a. Power-off your PC and insert your RTL8139 adapter.
    b. Boot-up you Solaris/x86 and login as "root".
    c. Copy the "rtls103A.zip" into the temporary location in your
       hard-driver.
    d. UNZIP the "rtls103A.zip" and you will get 2 files, "rtls" and
      "Install".
    e. If the PCI ID for your RTL8139 adapter is not VID_10EC_DID_8139
       or VID_1113_DID_1211 or VID_1186_DID_1301, you can modify the
       "Install" file to match your PCI ID, VID_ABCD_DID_WXYZ for example,
       modify the "pci1186,1301" 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.rtls0" 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 RTL8139 driver is up.
