Enabling second network card

[Robert Early_3]

There seems to be a second network card in a HPUX machine we have, in addition to the built-in lan port. It is not enabled - it doesn't appear under lanscan. It does show up under ioscan:
lan 1 8/20/5/8 btlan0 UNCLAIMED UNKNOWN EISA card INP0500
How do I go about enabling/configuring it?

Hi,

You can configuring EISA Boards automatically with sam!

1) Shutdown the system and turn the power off.
2) Physically add the board and peripheral device(s).
3) Turn the power on and boot the system. eisa_config runs automatically.
4) Add device drivers using SAM.
If necessary, make device file(s) for the device(s) that will be connected to the board.

Regards.

Frank.

It appears the device file is not created yet. Run ..

# insf -e
==> to recreate the device files and

# ioscan -fn
==> check again..

How do you want to configure this LAN card ?

Hi,

You may need to install the additional software ( J2781AA ?)for configuring this EISA 100BaseT card. Check this document for complete steps:

The card has been in the machine for quite some time (through several reboots).
I tried the insf -e but it still hasn't changed in the ioscan:
lan 1 8/20/5/8 btlan0 UNCLAIMED UNKNOWN EISA card INP0500

If it's an EISA 100Base-T harware part number is A3658A, then you would need J2780BA software to make it work. You should be able to find the sfw from your Application CDs.

[Robert Early_3]

J2780BA is installed on the system already, according to SAM. eisa_config shows up the board as:
8 !INP0500 Intel EtherExpress(tm) PRO/100 LAN Adapter

What should I do next?

[Francois Bariselle_3]

Hi again,

1) If you added the board using automatic mode, check /etc/eisa/config.err
2) Ensure that switch and jumper settings match the settings specified in /etc/eisa/config.log

Install the additional patch mentioned by Shiju. Then it will install the driver. And if you do a ioscan it will sho as claimed with some different driver name , other than btlan0.
