Thanks everyone who responded - here is what I did so far 1. installed ce drivers 2. installed 111883 patch 3. shutdown system and installed card in slot 5 (bus A) - this is on the same bridge as the other PCI bus that has onboard SCSI and hme0. We have A1000s on other buses. 4. boot -r 5. ifconfig ce0 plumb made sure ce0 is listed in ifconfig -a things to do once I have the cable ready from network team: add entry to /etc/hosts; create /etc/hostname.ce0 add entry to /etc/netmasks setup routing for the backup LAN using a "route add net" command. Also make a inet.d script that adds router entry upon reboot. ifconfig ce0 ...... up I was told that ndd commands should not be added to /etc/system. Hence I plan to make another inet.d script in /etc/rc2.d which has ndd commands (if needed). ----- Original Message ----- > We are installing a second NIC on our E450 running solarais8.
