Figure 40. SMIT Configuration Menu for Adding an ISA Ethernet Adapter

This configuration menu also provides the capability to select the

Define

device only, do not configure

option to have the adapter defined but not

configured. Change this field value to yes. It will allow you to define the
adapter without configuring it. If any parameter conflicts were detected, an error
message similar to the following is displayed:

ent1 Defined
lsresource : The attribute(s) for some device(s) in the system
could not be resolved.

To resolve conflicts, attribute(s) need to be

modified.

A suggested value for each attribute is provided.

Note: Instead of using the SMIT menu, you may use the following command
to select the previously set and tested parameters:

mkdev -c adapter -s isa -t ethernet -a bus_intr_lvl=IRQ \

-a bus_io_addr=IO -a bus_mem_addr=MEM \
-a media_type=TYPE -p bus1

where:

IRQ
