Failure to Configure GigaSwift Ethernet Instance
If your machine fails to configure a GigaSwift Ethernet instance, yet prtconf
indicates the adapter is present, the problem may be due to residue adapter
instances in the path_to_inst file.
To solve this problem, open the path_to_inst file for editing and remove the lines
containing ce device path.
Reboot the machine and try to configure it again.
Non-Specific Issues
TABLE B-1 describes the problems you may encounter in using the GigaSwift Ethernet
adapter as well as a solution for them:

Problem Description Solution
prtdiag does not
recognize the NIC in
slot 0.
If a PCI I/O board of an UltraSPARC III system is filled
with network adapters with an internal bridge (for
example, GigaSwift Ethernet or Quad FastEthernet),
prtdiag displays the card on slot 0. Although the card
in slot 1 is not recognized by prtdiag, the card is fully
operational and appears in the /etc/path_to_inst
file.
Use prtconf -pv
instead of prtdiag
VLAN appears to
accept VID 0 as end
user input.
ce000000, ce00000, or ce0000 configured as VID 0
is actually the regular ce0 interface not VID 0 of the
ce0 interface. VID 0 is not supported as an end user
device.
This is normal behavior.
