Free NIC drivers for Solaris including those for an nForce 3 motherboard.
CSW packaging home home of pkg-get for Solaris and a large collection of packages.
Blastwave is a collective effort to create a set of binary packages of free software, that can be automatically installed to a Solaris computer (sparc or x86 based) over the network. Blastwave has a substantial build server farm for the use of the software developers and maintainers in the Solaris community. All software is built and tested in a standardized build environment using Sun ONE Studio 8, Sun ONE Studio 10, Studio 11 tools as well as GCC.

List services:

svcs

Enable a service:

pfexec svcadm enable /network/zabbix:agent

Restart service:

pfexec svcadm restart zabbix:agent

Clear a 'maintenance' mark on a service (e.g. when set after too many service failures):

pfexec svcadm clear zabbix:agent

Change:

Start the compilation:

$ gmake

Tested on OmniOSCE r151046.

Check the dmesg output for the available network cards:

dmesg | grep mac

“Enable” the interface (in this case the yge0 interface):

ipadm create-if yge0

Set it to DHCP:

touch /etc/dhcp.yge0

Reboot:

reboot

Install WireGuard:

pfexec pkg install wireguard-tools

Go to homedir:

cd

Generate public and private WireGuard keys:

wg genkey | tee private.key | wg pubkey > public.key

Move the private.key to be the start of the tun0.conf:

pfexec mv private.key /etc/opt/ooce/wireguard/tun0.conf

Set permissions:

pfexec chown root:bin /etc/opt/ooce/wireguard/tun0.conf
pfexec chmod 0600 /etc/opt/ooce/wireguard/tun0.conf

Edit tun0.conf:

pfexec vi /etc/opt/ooce/wireguard/tun0.conf

Add server config under [Interface], and at least one client under a [Peer]:

[Interface]
PrivateKey = BASE64PRIVATEKEYOFSERVER
Address = 10.10.10.1/32
ListenPort = 5182

[Peer]
PublicKey = BASE64PUBLICKEYOFCLIENT
Endpoint = 10.1.1.38:5182
AllowedIPs = 10.10.10.38/32

Address: IP address to use for tunnel interface on the server.
Endpoint: IP address of client.
AllowedIPs: At least tunnel IP of client.

wg-quick looks for information in /etc/wireguard/ directory.
Create the config directory:

pfexec mkdir /etc/wireguard

And link the config:

pfexec ln -sf /etc/opt/ooce/wireguard/tun0.conf /etc/wireguard/tun0.conf

Start the WireGuard tun0 interface:

wg-quick up tun0

Expected output:

[#] wireguard-go tun
[#] sleep 0.1
[+] Interface for wg0 is tun0
[#] ipadm create-addr -t -T static -a local=10.10.10.1/32,remote=10.10.10.1 tun0/wg00
[#] wg setconf tun0 /dev/fd/63
[#] ifconfig tun0 mtu 1420
[#] route -q -n add -inet 10.10.10.38/32 -iface 10.10.10.1
add host 10.10.10.38/32: gateway 10.10.10.1
[+] Backgrounding route monitor

Show the status of WireGuard:

wg show

Expected output:

interface: tun0
  public key: BASE64PUBLICKEYOFSERVER
  private key: (hidden)
  listening port: 5182

peer: BASE64PUBLICKEYOFCLIENT
  endpoint: 10.1.1.38:5182
  allowed ips: 10.10.10.38/32

Shut down the interface so we can enable the wq-quick service (without it switching to state 'maintenance':

pfexec wg-quick down tun0

Check that wg-quick is available as a service to create an instance for:

svccfg list | grep wg

Expected output:

ooce/network/wg-quick

If it isn't import the manifest:

pfexec svccfg -v import /lib/svc/manifest/ooce/network-wg-quick.xml

Expected output:

svccfg: Successful import.

Create an instance of the wg-quick service for the tun0 config/interface:

pfexec svccfg

You will get the svccfg interactive shell.
Select the ooce/network/wg-quick service, add an instance for tun0, and exit the svccfg shell as follows:

svc:> select ooce/network/wg-quick
svc:/ooce/network/wg-quick> add tun0
svc:/ooce/network/wg-quick> exit

Check:

svcs -a | grep wg

Expected output:

-              -        svc:/ooce/network/wg-quick:tun0

Enable:

pfexec svcadm enable /ooce/network/wg-quick:tun0

Check:

svcs -a | grep wg

Expected output:

online         17:58:49 svc:/ooce/network/wg-quick:tun0

Check the status of WireGuard like before:

wg show

Reboot the server and use 'wg show' to check that that the WireGuard tun0 interface is available after reboot.
