My Sincere thanks to all who responded. Please note the summary of feed backs and discovery;
1)ce type device refers to Sun Gigaswift Network adapter. It comes in copper and FC flavors.
2)the ce.conf has to be created by the administrator to force the settings at the boot time. It is created in "/"
3) "nnd -get" wont work, use "kstat -m ce -i 0" to get config info.
4)The user and install guide is avaiable on
""
Thanks

Hello All,
I have a SUN V480 with two SunGigaSwift Ethernet Copper ports on it. I cannot find the ce.conf file anywhere on the system. Even running the "ndd -get /dev/ce link_status" and etc gives me errors, in otherwords does not recognize ce device. How can I trouble shoot this.
How can I find out exactly what driver version is running for this device and etc.
This will tell you the version of the package.
# pkginfo -il SUNWcedx
or
# pkginfo -il SUNWced
x is for 64 bit. If it's s10, there is just a SUNWced, which is 64 bit.
Is the driver loaded into memory? Check:
# modinfo | grep ' ce '
Note, this will tell you the version of the driver itself. If it's not
loaded, try to load it indirectly with ifconfig.
Try to plumb the interface:
# ifconfig ce0 plumb
You could also modload.
The ce.conf is not created automagically. You need to create it if you so desire. Look
here:
/
Also, man ce.
#grep ce /etc/driver_aliases
ce "pci108e,abba"
ce "pci100b,35"
usb_mid "usb,device"
#grep ce /etc/path_to_inst
"/pci@9,700000/usb@1,3/device@2" 0 "usb_mid"
"/pci@9,700000/usb@1,3/device@2/keyboard@0" 0 "hid"
"/pci@9,700000/usb@1,3/device@2/mouse@1" 1 "hid"
"/pci@9,700000/network@2" 0 "ce"
"/pci@9,600000/network@1" 1 "ce"
This tell us that the driver was installed, at least one point in time, it
most likely needs to be loaded. Doing an ndd, might not trigger the load
of the driver.
