not able to configure eisa lan card in d class server

[VINU]

Hi Friends,

I am trying to configure a eisa 100mbps lan card ( product no.A3658A , iEISA 100BASE-T LAN ADAPTER )in a d class server.OS is 11.0/32 bit.

I have installed the driver 'J2780BA B.11.00.04 EISA 100BT LAN/9000/800 ' ( btlan0 ) needed for this card.The btlan0 driver is now in the kernel.But still it is not working.The 'ioscan' ouput is as earlier and it is given below,

unknown -1 8/20/5/6 ERROR UNKNOWN EISA card INP0500

If I try to bind it forcefully with the driver,it is giving the following error.

# ioscan -M btlan0 -H 8/20/5/6
ioscan: libIO error from io_insert_node: Node already exists or parameter error detected.
#

There is a config file (!INP0500.CFG )for this card in /sbin/lib/eisa directory.It is attached.Is there anything to configure in this file

I have checked the card in the PDC menu and confirmed that it is getting sensed as it is showing in the IO details.

Request u to help me

Thanks in advance

Hi Vinu

Did you installed recent QPK patch bundle?(available in support plus media)

this may solve your problem

EISA ... search for a term for eisa_config I remember it needs to be run to configure an eisa card

Try a different slot. Not all the slots in those D class boxes will take the Eisa cards.

There may also be options on the card with pins that are set wrong. Way over my head on the hardware thing.

Hi Kapil Raj,

The eisa_config command worked.After that, lan card appeared in ioscan.Thanks a lot .

The exact options I got from man pages.It is given below for ut reference.
syntax: eisa_confgi add
#eisa_config add !INP0500.CFG 6
