Installing SunFastEthernet
3
Software Using Solaris 1.x
The Solaris 1 software version of the SunFastEthernet driver is supported on
Solaris 1.1 (SunOS 4.1.3) and later releases. To utilize the SunFastEthernet
Adapter card, the system also needs to contain OpenBoot™ PROM (OBP) level
2.3 or later. There is no restriction on the number of SunFastEthernet SBus
cards that can be installed in one system. The name of the SunFastEthernet
interface is "be".
Note – Be sure and read the README file on the CD-ROM for late breaking
information.
After installation of the SunFastEthernet card (see Chapter 2, "Installing the
SunFastEthernet SBus Card"), you can install the software which is located on
CD-ROM part number 704-4885-10.
If you will be running the software on a diskless workstation, install the
product software on the boot server for that diskless machine, see Section 3.4,
"Setting Up Diskless Clients," on page 3-16. The Section 3.3, "Installing from
CD-ROM", covers installation from a CD-ROM.
Note – The SunFastEthernet interface will not function in a network that uses
Ethernet trailers.
