All,

I have intermediate Sun admin skills and I just tried to install a
Phobes QFE card on my Blade 100 machine. I don't have the software CD,
and I am having problems finding a site where I can download the
drivers. I guess Phobes is now SonicWall and ftp.phobes.com does not
exist. Can anyone pls assist me? Thanks

What I'm looking for:
1 phbslink Phobos PhobosLink Trunking(Port Aggregation)
Software
(sparc) 1.0
2 phbsp430 Phobos P430 Adapter Driver for (64) bit PCI QuadPort

I guess my Sun Blade 100 is looking for 64 bit drivers. is that right?
Below is my current config (with the QFE in the box, but not showing):

bash-2.03# pkginfo |grep eridx
system SUNWeridx Sun RIO 10/100 Mb Ethernet Drivers (64-bit)

bash-2.03# isainfo -v
64-bit sparcv9 applications
32-bit sparc applications

bash-2.03# ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=1000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 8232 index
1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
eri0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500
index 2
inet 10.1.1.254 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 10.1.1.255
ether 0:3:ba:e:60:8a

Thanks for any help,
dj

OK - After doing some more looking around - I'm not sure if I made any
progress. I logged into ftp.sonicwall.com/pub/drivers/NICS and got the
sparc64 file for p430u. Tried to install:

bash-2.03# pkgadd -d sparc64/

** even though it says sparc64/ directory - it still shows 32 bit PCI
- what da heck? It also had errors attaching to driver - dunno what to
do there? So, just thought I had to reboot:

ok boot -r

It's like there is no driver - I guess that is why it can't attach???
