Happy New Year and I need help

[jabr at blu.org (John Abreau)]

I assume you're doing this on a PC? I run Solaris 7 on a SPARC, and I've
never seen an nei.conf file. I just did a find to look for this, and it
doesn't exist anywhere on my SPARC.

I have no experience with Solaris on Intel hardware, and I wouldn't know
where to start looking. I suspect that Solaris is a little pickier about
what hardware it will accept, and it's possible it won't work with an
ne2000 clone at all. I've found that linux supports a wider range of
hardware than most other unixes.
