Note:
- The NICs are mainly supported by the OpenIndiana community members and Illumos Organization.
- Use hipster for best results.
- See http://illumos.org/hcl for a correct list of supported hardware (based on device IDs the actual drivers list as supported)
- The
bgedriver now supports Broadcom BCM5719/5720 devices. See Illumos bug# 3446 for more details. - A number of NICs are not currently supported "out of the box" by the illumos kernel or OpenIndiana distribution, but over 30 open-sourced drivers covering many more chipsets and NIC models are available as part of the separate "Free NIC drivers for OpenSolaris" project by Masayuki Murayama and generally do just work on OpenIndiana (binaries are available as part of the source code tarballs, but you're encouraged to recompile them with GLDv3 Makefile's on OpenIndiana, see details on the project's web page). If your newer NIC chipset is not supported by a driver from that project, try contacting the author - you might help him make and test an updated version of a driver
- Marvell Yukon NICs may be supported by an SKGE driver, by
mykfrom the "Free NIC drivers for OpenSolaris" project and by Marvell's own drivers for Solaris (see comments below).

Oh yes - where did the Intel stuff go???

also my experience up to now:
use Intel al the way.

Guessing it was an accidental delete, I've resurrected it. If it wasn't Ken can explain :)

I have an ASUS P5B-Deluxe motherboard. It has two gigabit adapters (Marvell 88E8001 and 88E8056) and a Realtek wireless network. All components work properly with OpenIndiana except the 88E8001 chip. It happens to work with the "yukonx" driver from Marvell itself.
For actual driver versions (if there are ever any newer ones released) see www.marverll.com, search for product code.
Quick download links:
* 64-bit (tested) - http://extranet.marvell.com/drivers/files/yukonxsol_x64v10.0.3.3.tar.Z
* 32-bit (untested) - http://extranet.marvell.com/drivers/files/yukonxsol_x86v8.19.1.3.tar.z

Good luck!

Why do the ones that don't work keep getting
removed. Mine said `No Driver' for:
Atheros AR8132 / L1c Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
vendor 0x1969 device 0x1062
under OI_148. Is there a driver now?
Anonymous
he only thing I know is, that when I tried OI fore mentioned chip was listed as not having a driver... However it worked out of the box with out a hitch. But I decided that I don't have time for ambivalent diletants who don't even support SPARC64 so I ditched OI.
Marco van Lienen
Ken, the dell latitude e6520 has a build in, but mangled by dell, Gigabit NIC which is shown by scanpci and the device utility on oi_151 as an unknown card.
scanpci shows: vendor 0x8086 device 0x1502 (which according to http://pcidatabase.com/vendor_details.php?id=1302 is a Intel 82579LM Gigabit NIC (chip 0x04931028).
These are Intel's latest Lewisville chips (the 82579LM and 82579LF).
I've tried attaching both the e1000g and igb drivers via update_drv -a -i '"pci8086,1502"' e1000g and igb but both fail to attach.
Any idea how to proceed to get ethernet working or when driver support for the Lewisville becomes available?
Ken Mays
Oracle recently fixed: 6944824 Intel e1000g NIC support for Lewisville (82579LM and 82579LF)
You'll want to talk to the Illumos team about updating the legacy e1000g driver.

Hi, I've got the Intel Q67EP Mini-ITX motherboard and it has the Intel 82579LM LAN Chipset which is not recognized under OI 151. I'm hoping that support will be added before OI is finalized
Marco van Lienen
I've raised the issue on #illumos on freenode several times and I believe yesterday it was talked about again but so far no works seems to have gone into updating the e1000g driver.
Ken: I added your quote from your previous reply to https://www.illumos.org/issues/832.
Here's hoping someone can put in the time and effort to update the e1000g driver so we can use ethernet on our new laptops.

Also the Realtek RTL8111DL controller works just fine on OpenSolaris b134 and OpenIndiana 148.

OI_151 bricked my 82456GB dual nic.
Since installing OI, BIOS shows both its mac addresses as ffff.ffff.ffff.ffff, and the NIC is unreachable by any new OS I've tried running on that box since.
Ahhh...Beta testing!
Ken Mays
oi_151a2 (prestable2 and higher) now supports the Intel 82579 network controllers so update your installs from the dev IPS repo.
Lucas Van Tol
Does the oi_151a2 update include the new ET2 nic's from intel?
I believe it was a minor patch to igb driver to make those work.
#define E1000_DEV_ID_82576_QUAD_COPPER_ET2 0x1526 in hw.h
And than just tell it to use the same code path as other e1000_82576 devices in api.c
Christof Haemmerle
is there a way to get the Intel I350 Gigabit Network controller working?
i tried on 151a. unfortunately not recognized.
Christof Haemmerle
i can confirm Intel I350 Gigabit Network works after an upgrade to the most recent version.
