Re: Openserver 6 - Network drivers won't load?

I have just installed OSR6 on a new Dell - the basic operating system
has about 8-10 network drivers to choose from, none of which will
work.

I added the latest nd package (nd.8.0.6f.image) using pkgadd - I also
have osr600mp3 loaded.

pkginfo shows it's there.. but none of the listed drivers show up in
netcfg

Am I missing something? How to get these drivers to show up so I can
configure the network card..

As a starting point read TA 126923. What is happening is that the
network
utility is reading all the PCI information in and trying to match up a
board ID
with a NIC driver for you. If none of the NIC drivers match the board
IDs then
all you get to see is ISA NIC drivers, ones that are not automatically
discovered.
So you are missing all the PCI drivers, and that is by design.

You may be able to figure out what ID your NIC has using the technique
in the TA, and see if it a close variant of one of the supplied
drivers.

Does the Dell web site or SCO's compatible HW pages list the unit
as being supported?
