Installing the Driver Software
The Sun GigaSwift Ethernet Driver 1.0 Update 1 CD contains the driver software
required to operate the adapter. The Solaris 8 10/01 operating environment and
subsequent compatible releases include the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet driver software.
Refer to the documentation that shipped with the Solaris Supplement CD-ROM for a
listing of the available network drivers. Be sure to install the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet
driver for your version of the Solaris operating environment.
