Re: GigaBit connection

ioscan -fnCgelan

Gigabit Ethernet LAN

or

ioscan -fnClan

if there are some 10/100/1000 adapter, you have one of them.

lanadmin should tell you, as will sam.
ifconfig lanX will tell you if the interface is present at all. ( where X is if number)

Hi,

First verify if have the required cards installed by running

ioscan -fnC lan

Find out if you see any 1000Base-Sx or 1000Base-T cards in the output and note down the corresponding paths.

Then do

lanscan

note down the lan* interfaces corresponding to the above paths.

Then run "netstat -in" to see if they are configured.

If they are configured, you can find out the speed of the cards by doing

lanadmin -x ppa

(ppa is the prefix associated with the interface. 2 is the ppa for lan2. This is slightly different for 10.20 but I guess you have atleast 11.0)

This should show 1000 Auto-on.

You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try
