4.3 Solaris 2.3 Hardware: 8/94 Software Requirements

Solaris 2.3 Hardware: 8/94 is the second Solaris 2 release supporting the
SunFastEthernet. The driver for the SunFastEthernet is installed from the
package SUNWbmac. You will find this package on the Solaris 2.3 Hardware:
8/94 CD. Follow the installation instructions that come with the CD.

The Solaris 2.3 Hardware: 8/94 software is shipped on a single CD. The CD
software for this distribution is divided into five software packages or clusters
(see following table). The driver for the SunFastEthernet Adapter
(SUNWbmac) is bundled on the “Entire Distribution plus OEM Support” cluster
which automatically installs the driver SUNWbmac. In this instance you
should then proceed directly to Chapter 2, Section 2.2, “Testing the
SunFastEthernet Adapter Card Before Booting the System”.

For the “Entire Distribution”, “Programmer” and ”End User Support” clusters, the
driver is installed only if SunFastEthernet Adapter hardware is installed in the
system
If this is the case (hardware already installed) then proceed to Chapter
2, Section 2.2, “Testing the SunFastEthernet Adapter Card Before Booting the
System.
