[OmniOS-discuss] i217 driver

[Brogyányi József]

Dan

Thank you for your quick respond. You're right I found as a e1000g. 
Unfortunately the kernel not recognize it or I have to set manually.
When I issued the ifconfig command then I didn't see any "e1000g0" line 
or "igb0".
What is the next step?

Some information about the pc.
This pc is Dell Poweredge T20. The chipset is C226/i217. Later I'll try 
this:

That chip was i210.
