Chapter 4 Configuring Driver Parameters 51
Note – Configuring the parameters by putting ndd commands in rcX.d scripts is
not supported.
The man pages for prtconf(1M) and driver.conf(4) include additional details.
The next procedure shows an example of setting parameters in a ce.conf file.
● To access any man page, type the man command plus the name of the man page.
For example, to access man pages for prtconf(1M), type:
▼ To Set Driver Parameters Using a ce.conf File
1. Obtain the hardware path names for the ce devices in the device tree.
a. Check the /etc/driver_aliases file to identify the name associated with a
particular device:
Note – ce "pci100b, 35" is used by the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet MMF/UTP
adapter.
b. Locate the path names and the associated instance numbers in the
/etc/path_to_inst file.
■ In this example:
■ The first part within the double quotes specifies the hardware node name in
the device tree.
■ The number not enclosed in quotes is the instance number (shown in bold
italics).
■ The last part in double quotes is the driver name.
■ In the hardware node name, the last component after the last / character and
before the @ character is the device name.
% man prtconf
# grep ce /etc/driver_aliases
ce "pci108e,abba"
ce "pci100b,35"
# grep ce /etc/path_to_inst
"/pci@8,600000/network@1" 0 "ce"
