Do I need a nic in my Uw7/OSR6 box?
From postings in the c.u.u.m newsgroup and some personal experience, Uw7/OSR6 expects to be on a network. A system without a network card will function erratically. The contributor stated,
      'Deferring the installation of the NIC is possible
       during UnixWare 7/OpenServer 6 installation.  But you have to
       keep in mind that "ns-admin" will not correctly
       setup its files if it is installed before the NIC.
       It is the origin of the dot problem in ns-admin.conf,
       because domain name would have not been set as NIC was
       not yet installed.  Reinstalling the package as stated
       after the NIC installation corrects the problem.'
