Installation 24
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:
o If you are using DOS, type: format A:
o If 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:
