Missing NIC

[Andreas Schmitz_1]

Hello,

I am running a K260 with 2 NICs. Ioscan find them both.

But SAM shows only the build in card. The second is a HP HP-PB 100 Base TX card.

Any suggestions from the smart guys?

Br, Andreas

Have you got the latest patches installed?
If not this might be the plce to start, particularly SAM patches.
Have a look starting here for your operating system version.

If you cannot get the patches or need further help, please post a copy of your 'ioscan -fn' report. Somebody can then help with configuration from the command line.

ioscan -fn output:

lan 0 10/4/12 btlan1 UNCLAIMED UNKNOWN HP HP-PB 100 Base TX card

Seems to be a HW-configuration problem. How could I set it up as interface?

This seems to be a combination of patches/config/files missing. I saw a similar posting a few days ago. Suggest you have a look at it. As I don't have a system to look at right now and you do, it may help.

Hi Michael,

a german proverb says 'better to talk about it', means people think about problems during they talk about it.

I can't find the btlan1 kernel driver in the list of available drivers.
Product A3495A -> B.11.00.06 HP-PB 100BT LAN/9000 wasn't installed.

Now the card is available in SAM.

Thank you and 10 Points once again for you.
