Hi, 

Yesterday I finally updated my snv_134b build to io_148. 
After doing so, OpenIndiana could not find the network card (Realtek 8112L), and I was let with just the "NoNet" setting. Trying to use Network Preferences would not work because there were no Connections available to select. 

Under io_148 I received the following:

@zaphod at thebook:~$ ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000 
lo0: flags=2002000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6,VIRTUAL> mtu 8252 index 1
        inet6 ::1/128 
zaphod at thebook:~$ dladm show-phys
[Nothing shown]@

After switching the Boot Environment back to snv_134b, the network card again worked fine and here is what I found:

@zaphod at thebook:~$ ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000 
rge0: flags=1004843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DHCP,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
        inet 192.168.1.104 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
lo0: flags=2002000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6,VIRTUAL> mtu 8252 index 1
        inet6 ::1/128 
rge0: flags=2004841<UP,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DHCP,IPv6> mtu 1500 index 2
        inet6 fe80::92e6:baff:fec9:e86e/10 
zaphod at thebook:~$ dladm show-phys
LINK         MEDIA                STATE      SPEED  DUPLEX    DEVICE
rge0         Ethernet             up         100    full      rge0@

So it looks that some driver support that was available in OpenSolaris is missing in OpenIndiana, does anyone know how to address this? 

Thanks a ton.
Tom
