I was trying to create zones in Solaris 10(Version 1/06 for X86). I was

following a
document that shows how to install zones and ensuring that no step was
missed. Yet, I got the following error message "could not verify net
address=192.168.2.101 physical=hme0: No such device or address
zoneadm: zone small-zone failed to verify" when I issued a "zoneadm -z
small-zone verify" command.
I checked up on Google and was told that I should try the name of my
NIC Card instead of hme0 and to do that, I was told to download Realtek

Driver that would do it. So I downloaded the driver from
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...yword=RTL8101L.

The name of the driver file was rtls211.zip. I followed the
instructions to install it but it gave me an error stating that there
is some problem installing this driver. The ReadMe file says the first
thing I need to do is Power-off the PC and insert the RTL8139 adapter,
but I thought that the adapter would be inbuilt. I think this is the
reason why the driver is not getting recognized at all because it
expects a hardware device to which it can attach itself to. So I wasnt
really surprised when ifconfig -a command showed that the driver was
not installed too.Is it because my PC does not have a Network Card? But

when I checked the Manual for the Motherboard (Its a Gigabyte GA 8LD
533 Motherboard
with Intel 845 Chipset), it says I have a Built in RTL8101L Chipset.
Sorry if my question here appears wet-behind-the-ears sort, but it
would really be great if someone could help me.

What error, exactly, did you see?

It sounds like it is. I don't think that should have anything to do
with the problem.

Try "ifconfig -a plumb".

Hi James,

Thanks for the reply. I will post the exact error message along with
the ifconfig -a output.
