Is there anybody out there having experience whith a 100mbit network
card on AIX v. 4.1.4??
I tried an "original" card from IBM, but this failed, IBM's answer is to
upgrade to AIX 4.1.5.

But I will rather try another card that can resolve this problem, so
that I don't need to upgrade allready.

Any hints??

I was able to get the 100MB ethernet working on AIX 4.1.4 by installing
only the minimally required AIX 4.1.5 filesets on the system.  If you
do an inutoc (ie create a table of contents) for the 100MB ethernet files,
and look at the .toc file, you can see what the requisite files are.  If
you have a 4.1.5 CD available, you can get these and install them, or download
from the IBM fixdist site.  None of this is supported, however, so if you
have problems with your network, IBM probably won't help you...

Cheers, Andreas

You will need the latest device drivers for this adapter to function
correctly. I am not sure of the level for AIX 4.1.4 but it is a .11 on
AIX 4.2.1.

Next when configuring the adapter, select the speed that you want the card
to run, Auto-Negotiate doesn't work most of the time.

Finally, upgrade to AIX 4.2 or 4.3. The upgrade is painless.
