Lan0 configuration problem

[Corbetta Ivan]

Hi All,
I have the same problem of Rick Garland's message dated October 04, 2000, but I am not able to solve it.

I have a 715/100 with HP-UX 10.20.

I am not able to flag up the Net-Interface State

My lan has a CenterCom 210T transceiver 10 BASET.

When I reset the card using lanadmin I have the error:
expected primitive 0x06, got DL_ERROR_ACK
dl_error_primitive =0xe8
dl_errno = 0x04
dl_unix_errno =16
Unable to reset LAN Interface

I have tried using the suggests from Massey and Berlene but I can get any results.

I don't have the file named /etc/rc.config.d/hpbase100conf and making linkloop I have the following error:
expected primitive 0x30, got DL_ERROR_ARK
dl_error_primitive =0x2d
dl_errno = 0x04
dl_unix_errno =57

Thanks and regards

Sounds like a bad card.

# grep 57 /usr/include/sys/errno.h
#define ENOLINK 57 /* the link has been severed */

What do you suggest me to do?

[Berlene Herren]

replace the card with a known working one, load the drivers and see if you can communicate then.

The 715/100 has an integrated AUI network card. If the card is bad as the previous poster mentioned, then you will have to replace the board or get an add on one. Not an easy feat to do on an older 715/100. If you find that that is the problem, I'd be willing to ship you a 715/100 system board complete w/no RAM for $25 including shipping. Let me know if you run into any other problems. I play with these older machines at home in my spare time.

I have 2 workstation with the same problem. Is it possible that both of them have the lan card damaged?

Thanks

[Berlene Herren]

It is possible, they are older systems. Have you tried replacing the cable with a known good one?
