In Solaris 7.0 (Intel platform), the operating system only allocates 36 pages of 4K physically contiguous memory. The driver needs approximately 130K of physically contiguous memory per adapter. In order to use more than one adapter, the operating system must allocate more memory. This can be done by setting the operating system variable, "lomempages" in /etc/system.

For example, if four adapters are installed in a Solaris 7 system, physically contiguous memory is calculated as follows:

4 adapters * 130K = 520K

130 pages of 4K is required.

Since this memory might be used by another driver in the system, 200 of 4K memory is allocated. Add the following line in the /etc/system file:

set lomempages=200 Uninstalling the driver

To uninstall the driver:

1.ifconfig bcme [instance_number] down

2.ifconfig bcme [instance_number] unplumb

3.pkgrm BRCMbcme

Driver update (DU) diskette instruction (Intel® Platform Only)

This area contains the Solaris diskette image files, and the instructions to create diskettes from these image files.

1.Insert a blank diskette into the diskette drive of your system, and type one of the following commands to format it:

oIf you are using DOS, type: format A:

oIf you are using the Solaris operating environment, type: fdformat -Ud

2.Check to see if Volume Management is running:

a.Do one of the following:

If you are using DOS, type: dd filename A:

If you are using the Solaris operating environment, type:

volcheck

ls -l /vol/dev/aliases/floppy0

b.If you see a message similar to this: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 34 Jan 21 17:28 /vol/dev/aliases/floppy0 -> /vol/dev/rdiskette0/unnamed_floppy

Type:

dd if=bcmedu.img of=/vol/dev/aliases/floppy0 bs=36k eject floppy0

c.If you see this message:

/vol/dev/aliases/floppy0 not found

Type:
