Hi All, I've been monitoring this mailing list since day one, and I kept getting interested with OpenIndiana. Tried to install it on my old machine, most of the devices were detected and the system running smoothly. So I think it's about time I move to a younger, stronger system.
I just recently build a new rig for mostly virtualization lab and storage. It's a Sandy Bridge platform, with Intel motherboard (Intel DH67GD). Since it has an onboard Intel PRO Gigabit NIC (Intel 82579V), I was very confident it wouldn't have any installation issue or performance with OpenIndiana. It turned out that there are some missing drivers when I ran Driver Utility during Live DVD of OpenIndiana oi_148. For my surprise, one of the missing drivers is the onboard NIC! So I cancelled the installation and tried other distro and operating system to make sure that it wasn't a hardware defect issue. Both OpenSolaris 2009.06 Live CD and Ubuntu 10.04 Live CD were also having the same issue. Furthermore I tried to install it with Windows 7, install its NIC drivers from Intel and whoila the NIC appeared and worked flawlessly. I also tried installing Ubuntu 10.10 and it successfully detect the adapter. Are there any missing steps that I overlooked on installing OpenIndiana? Shouldn't Intel NIC drivers support in OpenIndiana came out of the box right from its Live DVD session? Tonight I will try to install it with Solaris 11 Express and see if it recognizes the NIC. Are there any output from a command that I should put in here for further investigation? Thanks in advance!
