Ken, Up until this morning, I still cannot managed to successfully enter the sys-unconfig session. Each time I execute sys-unconfig and it prompted "Press any key to restart." my keyboard is not functioning. So I did a hard reboot, and when it comes to the progress bar splash screen it went like forever. Or is it normal to take longer progress bar entering sys-unconfig session?

If things get hairy, you can also do sys-unconfig (reconfigure system as root admin) to set your system back up - only takes a few minutes to do. It'll walk you through NIC and networking setups instead of having to create files yourself. There are other methods, but just do that as a run through for now... ~ Ken Mays --- On Mon, 1/31/11, Okky Hendriansyah <mawcik...@gmail.com> wrote: From: Okky Hendriansyah <mawcik...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Missing Intel NIC Driver on OpenIndiana oi_148 To: "Discussion list for OpenIndiana" <openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org> Cc: "ken mays" <maybird1...@yahoo.com> Date: Monday, January 31, 2011, 11:56 AM Hi Ken, I tried using Solaris 11 Express Live CD and it still missing the driver. Tried also your suggestion, here are the output: OpenIndiana SunOS 5.11 oi_148 November 2010 root@asturias:~# update_drv -a -i '"pci8086,1503"' e1000g devfsadm: driver failed to attach: e1000g Warning: Driver (e1000g) successfully added to system but failed to attach root@asturias:~# dladm show-phys LINK MEDIA STATE SPEED DUPLEX DEVICE rtls0 Ethernet up 100 full rtls0 The rtls0 is my old D-Link Fast Ethernet PCI Card. How do we attach the e1000g driver to the device?

Type this command: "update_drv -a -i '"pci8086,1503"' e1000g" Hope that helps in the meanwhile. This will identify your card to the e1000g driver - which may work for you as a workaround. ~ Ken Mays --- On Mon, 1/31/11, Okky Hendriansyah <mawcik...@gmail.com> wrote: > From: Okky Hendriansyah <mawcik...@gmail.com> > Subject: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Missing Intel NIC Driver on OpenIndiana oi_148 > To: openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org > Date: Monday, January 31, 2011, 2:30 AM > Hi All, > > I've been monitoring this mailing list since day one, and I > kept getting > interested with OpenIndiana.
