Network Card help

Larry Scheetz — Fri, 24 May 2002 16:23:20 GMT

I have a K420 with 10.20 which has a internal lan 10baseT card in it. I installed a "HP HP-PB 100 Base TX card. It is showing unclaimed. Are there any easy directions to get this installed and working for lan0 instead of the 10 baseT card?

Hi,
K420 has integrated network card of 10baseT. Please install the HP-PB driver for 10baseT network card. That dirver you can find in one of Application Cd.

You should be fine after installing the driver.

You are missing the driver for the card. The software is almost always on Disk 1 of any Applications Software set. Install the software using swinstall.

I would then boot the machine to make sure everything is still ok. Next look in /etc/rc.config.d. The file netconf is used to define IP addresses, subnets, etc. etherconf is used to configure the built-in interface, and depending on which card you have other files are used to configure your additional network card(s) - e.g. btlanconf.

You can actually use SAM to set this up; I strongly suggest that you hard set the speed/duplex settings on both the host AND the switch; avoid auto-negotiation; it is far from reliable.

You need to instll the driver for the 100BaseT Card. Most probably it would be btlan3. Look at the following link and match your cotroller product No. For your information it needs a reboot for the driver installation.
