HP HP-PB 100 Base TX card's driver

[Carme Torca]

Hi,

I have one interface in a 9000/800/K360, and its unclaimed

lan 0 10/4/8 btlan1 UNCLAIMED UNKNOWN HP HP-PB 100 Base TX card

Does anyone knows when can I get the driver?
I haven't got any cds of anything.
Had I to reboot the system or its online?

Thanks a lot of!
Carmen.

IIRC "btlan" is the converged 10/100BT driver for the HSC/PCI 10/100BT NICs. The other forum posting suggests that "btlan1" might be the correct driver for the HP-PB 100BT.

However...

Given the system is a K360, it would be _far_ better to use an HSC 100BT NIC rather than the HP-PB one. The HP-PB 100BT card is best described as a "connectivity" solution, the performance of which is not terribly good. In fact it is rather worse than that of the HP-PB FDDI card crippled to a 1500 byte MTU. See the attached for some discussion using systems other than the K Class. Things wouldn't be much better, might even be worse, on the K Class when it comes to HP-PB cards since the HP-PB bus is "farther" from the memory than in the attached writeup.
