Install Solaris 7. PC don't recognize the network adapter card when bootup. The card claims support UNIX.

? How can I update the driver to make the computer recognize it. Then how to assign a status IP and default.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Have you check the Sun Hardware compatibility list to see if it's there? What king of PC? Portable or desktop? Desktop has more card supported compared to portable...

Good luck!

... and if you get a get that is supported, when doing a ifconfig -a or dmesg|more you will see your network card interface. Let's pretend it's : iprb0
In /etc create a file called hostname.iprb0 who will contain your hostname. Also add the ip address and hostname in /etc/hosts and reboot that should do it.

Let's say that you have found that indeed it is supporting the Unix Environment. Get the appropriate dirver and you need to build the driver database by issuing the following:
touch /reconfigure
command 'drvconfig
