Driver problem with network interface (A6825-60101)

[Hubeli Daniel]

Hi,
I just added 2 new LAN interfaces (HP model: A6825-60101 / Real model: 3C996B-T) on a L2000 machine running HPUX 11.00.

My problem is that after the boot the cards are not recognised properly. In fact if I do an ioscan for the specific phisical location I see:

[cs9t1bhb:root](/) ioscan -H 0/1/0/0
H/W Path Class Description
=======================================
0/1/0/0 unknown PCI Ethernet (14e41645)
[cs9t1bhb:root](/) ioscan -H 0/5/0/0
H/W Path Class Description
=======================================
0/5/0/0 unknown PCI Ethernet (14e41645)

I imagine that I don't have the right driver installed for using the Gb (other network adapters running at 100 Mb are working correctly on the server).

Does anybody know the right steps to configure these cards correctly ? (where to download the latest drivers etc.)

Thanks very much in advance for any help.

Kind regards,
Daniel Hubeli

P.S.
I will attach the output of swlist just in case it could help

Hi,

Here you have to doc of the card
http://docs.hp.com/en/J5683-90001/J5683-90001.pdf

You need to add the driver igelan to your kernel. I can't find the driver for 11.00 for the moment

[Pete Randall]

You may well already have the driver installed but it's not included in your kernel. I'm not sure exactly which one you need, but go into SAM > Kernel Configuration > Drivers and check the gelan and igelan. If either one is not included, include it and rebuild the kernel.

Thank you all for your support.

Unfortunately in the "kernel configuration" I couldn't find igelan driver to include and so I think I should install it from the CD.

Just another question. If I install the driver from the CD how should I patch it ? The latest "quality pack" and patches are already installed. Should I reinstall them ?

Kind regards,

[Robert-Jan Goossens_1]

No, no need to reinstall the latest "quality pack" just install the driver from the cd.

Thanks you all.

Finally I downloaded the driver from here:

Then I installed it with "swinstall", rebooted and now everything it's fine.

Bye,
Daniel
