| 5 | <title>Older Solaris Releases Do Not Work with E1000 Ethernet</title>

| 8 | Solaris releases before Solaris 10 1/06, including Solaris 9, Solaris
|
|---|
| 9 | 10 1/05 (GA), and Solaris 10 3/05 (HW2), are unable to communicate
|
|---|
| 10 | through the Intel E1000 card. The Solaris e1000g driver does not enable
|
|---|
| 11 | PCI bus mastering for the network adapter and is therefore unable to send
|
|---|
| 12 | and receive data. This problem appears to be specific to the e1000g
|
|---|
| 13 | driver and does not reflect general Solaris driver behavior.

| 17 | The AMD PCnet emulation (using the Solaris pcn driver) can be used
|
|---|
| 18 | instead of Intel E1000. Solaris 10 1/06 (U1) and later releases do not
|
|---|
| 19 | have this problem and work with the emulated E1000 ethernet
|
|---|
| 20 | controller.
