After rebooting your system, login as super-user (root).

7. At the command line, use the

grep

command to search the

/etc/path_to_inst

file for

hme

devices.

In the example above, the

network@1,1

instance is the on-board FastEthernet

device, the old

SUNW,hme@0,1

instance is for the previous SunSwift PCI adapter,

and the new

SUNW,hme@2,1

instance is for the Sun FastEthernet PCI adapter.

You will need to know the instance number for Sun FastEthernet PCI adapter. In the
above example, the instance number for the Sun FastEthernet PCI adapter is 2,
which is shown in bold.

8. Using the instance number found in Step 7, rename the

/etc/hostname.hme

file previously used by the SunSwift PCI adapter to

reflect the new instance number used by the Sun FastEthernet PCI adapter.

For example, if the previous file had an

*.hme1

extension, and the new instance

number is 2, you would type:

9. Halt and reboot your system.
