100BaseT drivers

[Tarek]

Where can i find these drivers and how can I download them?
I need those drivers because i have installed the hpux 11.00 on a C110. The ws goes only at 10 megabit and not at 100. The card is 10/100 megabit.
Thanks for any help.

You will want to load the 100BT patches and SAM patch (especially if you use SAM to configure the LAN card). The 100BT patches will load your config file in /usr/newconfig/etc/rc.config.d (for instance hpeisabtconf, hppci100conf, etc.)

In addition, you will find the appropriate software product which contains the drivers on the application media. It is normally found on the first disk.

The software product you load is determined by the system bus (HSC/EISA/PCI...)

The C series should use the PCI bus for the card. For 11.0 the driver is btlan5 and the sw product is B5509BA. This should be located on the first application CD.

If it uses the EISA slot, it would be btlan4 with a software product of J3623BA. This still can be found on the first application CD.

I think thats it.

Hope this helps,
Chris

I hadn't find those drivers on my application cd. The cd i'm using is september '99. Is that the problem? How can i see the speed of my lan card. Is there any comand? I tried with lanscan, but it isn't written. How can i also know the bus of my lancard? Where can i see it? My lan card name is lan0, card type fast ethernet. When i enter with sam in the card properties, there's an option called autoneg, in which i can choose on/off. What should i put.
Thanks for any help.

Hmmm, they should be there on the 11.x 1st application CD. I don't have access to that version to check, but look through the description in swinstall for that CD and you should see something for 100BaseT and your bus type.

To see the speed of your lan card:
#lanscan
get the for lan0

# lanadmin -x
shows spped for this card

As for the bus type, I can't help there, anyone else? I am generally a hardware guy, so I open it up and look. ioscan -f may give you the bus type.

As for whether to use auto-negotiate or not, it depends on the switch your hooked to. If the switch is on Auto-negotiate also, there can be problems at least one side should be hard coded.

I think that was all the questions.

Hope this helps,
Chris

I've found them. But still a problem. I tried to check with lanscan and lanadmin the bus, but i hadn't find what type it is.
But i found the speed with lanadmin. So the problem now is that i have them, but i don't know which to install.

[Tarek]

I don't know which 100Base-T drivers to install because i don't know if the lancard is EISA or PCI. How can i know that? I tried with lanscan and lanadmin but without success....

[Christopher Smith_2]

Ok, this is the ugly way. Install them both. It's not clean, but you can do it with no problems. Then ioscan will show either btlan4 or btlan5. Then swremove the wrong one. I wish I had a better answer, but at least I have one that will work.

Have a great day,
Chris
