btlan1 not in kernel

[Garry Kibler]

I'm obviously missing something.

Installed a HP-PB 100BT card in a K360, running 11.0

Device shows in ioscan as:

unknown -1 10/4/8 UNCLAIMED UNKNOWN HP HP-PB 100 Base TX card

so, I start loading software, A3495A first, as the book says. reboot, still no bindings. Try adding btlan1 to system and doing a mk_kernel and I get:

WARNING: No such device, tunable, or cdio btlan1. Ignoring the following line.
btlan1

So, I install more software:

J2759BA B.11.00.05 HP-PB 100BT LAN/9000
J3514A B.11.00.04 100BT/9000 GSC for K and T Series
J3620BA B.11.00.04 100BT/9000 GSC for K and T Series

I'm just not getting it. What is the mk_kernel telling me, if everything else I read says the btlan1 driver comes in with A3495?

You could look at the following document in the knowledge database:

Here is the content:

PROBLEM
I am running a new HP-UX 11.0 installation, and the lanscan
command does not recognize my 100BaseT network card. Furthermore,
the "ioscan -funC lan" command reports the card shown, but
UNKNOWN and UNCLAIMED. The btlan1 driver does not
recognize the 100BaseT card.

Why am I having this problem?

CONFIGURATION
Operating System - HP-UX
Subsystem - Networking
RESOLUTION
You are having this problem because you are currently running the
incorrect software for the 100BaseT network card at HP-UX 11.0.

Perform the following steps to resolve the problem:

1. Remove the incorrect software, in this case, A3495.

2. Install J2759, the proper software for the 100BaseT
card at HP-UX 11.0.

Remove A3495A. The correct software (11.0) for your HP-PB 100BaseT card is J2759BA (which you already installed). If you got A3495A installed at the same time btlan1 will not be claimed.

Thanks!!! Worked like a charm.

I had installed J2759BA from a local depot, and it apparently didn't have all the parts. Installed it from the Applications CD, and it worked fine.

Thanks again...
