Hi,

has anybody run this configuration (i.e. an intel gigabit adapter in a
sparc machine with Solaris 9)? I think there is no e1000g kernel module
included in Solaris 9. But would it possible to use the one from Solaris
10 or is it impossible because of the new FireEngine or GLD or something
else?

Does anybody know a not-so-expensive alternative for an Enterprise 250
running under Solaris 9?

TIA,
Tom

Used E250's are going for a couple of hundred bucks. How cheap do you
need?

yeah, that the reason why it shouldn't be too expensive. Reasonable PC
gigabit adapters are at <50EUR, so I guees <100 would be OK. OTOH a new
server with gigabit is much more expensive and another E250 won't give
me gigabit...

As i know OpenSolaris has sparc drivers and Solaris 10/05 has them too -
