[OpenIndiana-discuss] Intel 82579V ethernet not recognized

[Glenn Holmer]

I'm trying to install OpenIndiana. I booted the oi151a Desktop DVD, but 
my Ethernet card (Intel 82579V) is not recognized. I found some 
information here:

https://www.illumos.org/issues/832

but I just don't know enough Solaris to understand it. I entered this:

update_drv -a -i '"pci8086,1503"' e1000g

and got this:

devfsadm: driver failed to attach : e1000g
Warning: Driver (e1000g) successfully added to system but failed to attach

What steps should I take in what order? Do I try and install first, then 
correct the driver afterward, or won't that even work? Or is there a 
newer release I can try?
