Install Network Card Drivers in Solaris 10

1.1 Preparing For Installation
Install your PCI card and boot Solaris 10. Copy Gani-2.6.8 drivers to Desktop. Add hostname for the NIC card into /etc/hosts file

Ex.

Make links to correct binary directory and Makefile according to your configuration. I386 and gcc are default.

# cd /Desktop/gani-2.6.8
# rm -f Makefile
# ln -s Makefile.amd64_gcc Makefile
# ln -s amd64 obj

1.2 Making Binaries Only For Open Solaris Users.

# rm Makefile.config
# ln -s Makefile.config_gld3 Makefile.config
# /usr/ccs/bin/make
1.3 Testing
Testing before installation is strongly recommended.

# cd /Desktop/gani-2.6.8
# /usr/ccs/bin/make install
# ./adddrv.sh
# modload obj/gani
# ifconfig ganiN plumb (where N is an instance number, typically 0 for first card) Ex: gani0 (Network card name)
# ifconfig -a (you will see an entry for ganiN)
# ifconfig gani0 YOUR-HOST-NAME
# ifconfig gani0 (ensure IP address is correct)
# ifconfig gani0 up (and then you can test with ping, telnet, ftp ...)
1.4 Installation
After you ensure that the gani driver is fully functional, install it. Configure the network interface. Create and/or modify the following file:

Edit /etc/hostname.gani0
Enter
OR
# vi /etc/hostname.gani0
Enter & Save.

1.5 Reboot the System

# init 6
