# Intel Network Drivers for SunSoft Solaris* (e1000g)

(Server adapters only)

Versions Supported: Solaris* 7, or Solaris 8, Update 2 operating system for x86 architecture with latest patch clusters/patches for respective operating system versions for x86. (Solaris 8 update 1 had some issues which were resolved in update 2.)

| NOTE: If the older version is less than 2.000.0, completely uninstall the drivers and then install the newer version. Do not upgrade 1.xxx.x version with 2.xxx.x version as both package formats are slightly different. The new format does not configure adapters and uses different scripts than the previous package. New device IDs are also added in the new package.

Please read the instructions to install the Solaris 7 or Solaris 8 driver package for the Intel adapter. You must have administrative rights to successfully install the driver.

The INTCGigaE package is packaged in two formats and can be used on all Intel PRO/1000 Server Adapters:

- Datastream format (INTCGigaE.pkg).

- Compressed and tar File system format (INTCGigaE.tar.Z).

If you already have a previous version of this package, remove it first before installing this package. Use 'pkgrm' to remove a package and 'pkgadd' to add a package.
