[OpenIndiana-discuss] Intel 82579V ethernet not recognized

[Open Indiana]

My first guess is that you could try to change e1000g with bge.
Solaris has different approaches on naming a NIC, but I don't know how this
works.

A nic could be named e1000g0 or bge0 or nge0 and it seems to depend on the
hardware.

Subject: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Intel 82579V ethernet not recognized

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?
