109929-03 breaks Sol 8x86 ethernet pcmcia support

For using ethernet pcmcia card faster than 10 MBit/s you need patch 109923-04.
Unfortunately this patch depends on 109929-03 which breaks the ethernet pcmcia card support:
After applying the patch the ethernet card is identified as memory card and therefore the memory
and pcram device drivers loaded. Unloading this drivers and force loading the network driver is
not possible.
Any clues ?

You are not alone with issues related to the e1000e (but all they concluded was that reloading the module makes it work again):
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=145564
It seems like this is more your issue:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux. … devel/8932
But if none of those boot flags work for you, then there's not much you can do, and you'll have to write a script to reload the module each time after initial boot finishes I guess until the module gets fixed.
Also, power management of the PCIe interface causes the e1000e to shut off after a while as well (lots of people on CentOS noticing this):
http://serverfault.com/questions/226319 … ie-aspm-do
So you can use that boot parameter to stop that from happening, if that becomes an issue for you as well.

Does the apple thunderbolt to ethernet dongle support promiscuous mode ?

Does the apple thunderbolt to ethernet dongle support promiscuous mode ?
I need to use the new Retina MBP as a professional laptop for work, and I need to use Etherreal. Etherreal needs the Ethernet card/dongle/chip to run in Promiscuous mode. I have heard that unblivably the thunderbolt Ethernet dongle does not support this, if so then the laptop will not pick all the packets on the wire... is this true ?
Regs Mark.

Hi Clinton,
Thanks for your reply, However the promiscuous mode function that I am after is a function of the Ethernet NIC hardware and driver not just the OS.
Wireshark allows the user to put network interface controllers that support promiscuous mode into that mode, in order to see all traffic visible on that interface, not just traffic addressed to one of the interface's configured addresses and broadcast/multicast traffic.
Anyone out there actually used/tested the thunderbolt Ethernet adapter to sniff traffic with wireshark (Ethereal), can you please if it can run in promiscuous mode ?
Thanks.

Solaris10 PCMCIA Support

Hello. I'm getting more and more excited about Solaris/X86 due to all the new development features in 10. So i've loaded up B63 (I've tried previous Express releases in the past). Problem is that I get 2 odd errors at startup.
The first is complaining about IPL 11 conflicting with another device. I went back and reconfigured the devices so that this was no longer and issue but it ultimately made no diffrence.
The second is two worrysome "pcic0: Unable to alloc state" (one for pcic0 and one for pcic1) messages.
When the system comes up the pcic module isn't loaded and obviously I can't even touch my network card.
I'm using a Compaq Armada E500 with a 3COM 3C574-TX PCMCIA networking card. I'm running Solaris10 B63 as stated. I tried to use the XIG PCIC patch but it won't install on Solaris10 and pkgtrans is freaking out when I try and dump the stream to use manually. I tried to dig around in the BIOS, but the BIOS is so restrictive there really isn't anything to do but set security settings.
This is bumming me out, I'd like to be able to develop on X86 using Zones and play with DTrace while in the park/backyard/etc, but it's not much fun without a network connection. Sadly, I do not have an onboard network.
Ideas? Searching around the net hasn't really yeilded any results except a better understanding of how PCIC works.
Thank You!

I have loaded Solaris 10 on an Compaq Armada 7800, but have been struggling to get the PC Card controller to work with ethernet cards.
I have tried to use a traditionally "well supported" 3COM EtherLink III 3C589D and I have even purchased a Cisco (the networking giant) owned Linksys Etherfast 10/100 Integrated PC Card PCM100. I have a few other PC Cards I can try, but I think the issue is with the controller: "WARNING: Cannot register interrupt for 'pciclass.060700' device at IPL 11 because it conflicts with another device using the same vector 11 with IPL of 1. Reconfigure the conflicting devices to use different vectors.
I have used solaris for over a decade, but I don't understand PC Card or PCMCIA enough to get past this.

DOS PCMCIA support for old Compaq Armada 1571DM

Hi there,
I have recently purchased an old Compaq Armada 1571DM for a project I'm currently in, which requires both portability and the availability of a couple of COM (serial) ports. The laptop comes with a single serial port, so I thought to add the second one I need via a PCMCIA to serial card adapter. So I purchased one of these too.
The problem I faced is that the software I use to access the serial ports runs on DOS only, and as far as I could find on the internet, there seems to be no DOS driver/card enabler for this particular laptop.
I'll very much preciate your help, as I'm stuck on this issue for a long time now, and I really need to make it work.
Thank you very much.
Best regards.
PS.: under Windows 98 everything seems to work: PCMCIA sockets are detected, and PCMCIA adapter is properly recognized and installed thru its provided drivers.

Hi:
You may also want to post your question on the HP Business Support Forum -- Armada notebook section.

PCMCIA support

According to the literature I have found on this web-site PCMCIA (and in particular cards such as the 3com 3c589) are supported by Solaris 7 (x86)and Solaris 8 (x86) through the pcelx driver.
However, I can't find clear guidance on troubleshooting PCMCIA on my machine. What I don't understand is why Sun supposedly doesn't support CardBus. My machine is the type where I can't make changes in the BIOS to change the mode to PCIC. Does this mean that I can't run Solaris on my laptop?
If anyone (or Sun if you are reading this) can point me towards getting networking on my Dell Inspiron 7500 laptop working I would greatly appreciate it.
Steve

All the people in Japan wish laptops would be support. Heck
all the countries in the world that use Solaris on laptops
wish it would be supported. Sometimes Sun dosn't know a good
thing when they have it. At least from a market prospective.

Aironet 1100 / 802.3af Power Over Ethernet (POE) Support

I was under the impression that the Aironet 1100 supports 802.3af POE. I purchased a NetGear FS108P POE switch, however, when I plug in the 1100, it does not receive any power.
I have seen references in the documentation to a Cisco inline power injector and a Cisco Catalyst switch that can provide POE to the 1100 and maybe they will work, however, will the 1100 only work with those devices?? If so, it would seem that the 1100 really doesn't support the 802.3af standard and that Cisco's implementation of POE is proprietary.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael

Hi Michael,
As you have discovered (unfortunately) is that the 1100 only supports Cisco Pre-standard PoE :( Have a look;
Single 802.11g radio offering 54 Mbps of capacity
2.4 GHz integrated diversity dipole antennas
Available in an autonomous version only
16 MB of memory with 8 MB of storage
Operating temperature range of 32 to 104?F (0 to 40?C)
**Inline power support (Cisco pre-standard)**
From this doc;
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/ps4570/prod_brochure0900aecd8035a015.html
The good news is that either of the options you listed will work just fine. I would go for the power injector probably just for neatness sake.
POWERING OPTIONS
The Cisco Aironet 1100 Series can be powered either locally using the AC-DC power adapter, or over the Ethernet cable when coupled with a device capable of delivering in-line power, such as an in-line power-capable Cisco Catalyst? switch, Catalyst in-line power patch panel, or Cisco Aironet Power Injector.
The AC-DC power adapter is included with the access point and can also be ordered as a spare part. The Cisco Aironet Power Injector can either be configured to the order or can be ordered separately.
You can use either;
AIR-PWR-A= Cisco Aironet Power Supply-Input 110-240VAC, Output 48VDC, 380 mA-for 1100 and 1200 Series
AIR-PWRINJ3= Cisco Aironet Power Injector for the 1100 and 1200 Series Access Points

Gigabit ethernet only supports 100Mb

Hi
Im having a problem with the 48-port Gigabit ethernet blade (48-port 10/100/1000BaseT (RJ45)) on a 4506 switch, one of the ports only support 100Mb, if hardcoded to 1000Mb on both sides, then the connectivity would be gone. All other ports on this blade seem fine.
Would it be a hardware issue? Any idea what caused it?
Thank you
Jane

Not at this point, no.
Any diagnostics, with or without testing equipment, are going to require disconnecting either or both ends of the cable.
You can follow the cable through the system and inspect all of the connections (patch cable->panel->info outlet->patch cable to the host), maybe try re-punching the connection at the panel to make sure the wires are seated into the IDC connector.
You'd be looking primarily at the blue and brown pairs (green and orange are used for Ethernet/Fast Ethernet).
Likely as not, one of the blue or brown pair are reversed (i.e., white-blue and blue are swapped at the panel).
If that's the case, you'll need to clear and re-punch the pair.
Good Luck

Number of Ethernet Devices Supported on Ethernet/LAN port of Airport Express

I am using an Airport Express to extend my wireless network (Apple Time Capsule Base) and using the ethernet/LAN port to connect a wired device (a DirecTV DECA) so that my DirecTV HD DVR box can connect to the internet thru my home network. Works great. I have Whole Home DVR installed and so the other DirecTV receivers in the house are connecting to one another over the the coax and using the (DECA - Ethernet over Coax) to talk to one another and they each recieve an IP address via DHCP from the Apple Time Capsule Base - obviously thru the brdige created by the AirPort Express. Recently added an additional DirecTV reciever and for some reason this one will not get an address? Is as if the Aiport Express has "maxed out" the number of ethernet devices it will connect or bridge on the LAN side? I have tried shutting everything down and bringing DirecTV recievers on in different orders and it is alwasy the last one (the 5th one) that fails to get an address. Anyone have any knowledge if there is indeed a limit of the number of ethernet devices that are supported on the Ethernet/LAN port of the Airport Express? Thanks for any insight.

in theory, yes, but you work network admin may have locked the network preventing this from working

How many PXI Ethernet Cards supported in LabVIEW RT?

How many ethernet ports does LabVIEW RT support. If I put in several cards (such as PXI-8231, PXI-8232, or PXIe-8234) into a PXI chassis, then would I be able to configure and use them all?

Hello kmcdevitt,
It should be fine to have as many ethernet cards as you need in the PXI chassis. There's a global limit depending on the number of interrupt lines available on the motherboard (or PXI chassis), but it's up to around 16, depending on the controller. You would set them up using the Advanced Ethernet Settings section in MAX, as explained in this LabVIEW Real-Time Module Help article. I posted the 2011 help but this works for a few versions back, what version of LabVIEW RT are you using? Hope this helps!

Resilient Ethernet Protocol support

Hi,
Does anyone knows if the Cisco 6500 Switch supports the resilient ethernet protocol?
Thanks in advance.

Right now it is supported only on metro boxes and 4k switches..It will be supported on 3k in ints next major release..I think similar plans are there for 6k also

Does Sun ethernet driver support .1q vlans? Q-in-Q?

I'm pretty sure .1q is supported, but I just want to make sure.
What about Q-in-Q encapsulation?
Thanks,

There is not one single ethernet driver. Some drivers support .1q, some do not. What hardware do you have?
I don't know that Q-in-Q is supported.

PRP-2 Ethernet Ports - Support MPLS ?

I setup lab with 5 units of XR12406, 2 unit as P another 3 units as PE router.
All router came with POS and GigabitEthernet (Fiber) ports. On P1 I use ETH port connect to RR router, well it work without problem..BGP is up and running.
To simulate CE host can ping to other side oof CE host, I connect the host to PRP-2 ETH port, well my notebook don't have Fiber ethernet port.
From host 1 I can ping to the gateway to 10.1.1.1, and host 2 can ping to 10.3.3.3 GW. But I can't ping from host 1 to remote CE host (10.3.3.100). Question is this ETH ports on PRP-2 can support MPLS ? Or I am not suppose to use the ETH port on PRP-2 ?
I knew these ports suppose is for Telnet/SNMP .. management use only.

Dear Tckoon,
As far as i understand your case, there is no need to enable MPLS on the ethernet connected to Host1 or Host2 as this is a customer CE interfaces so it's only assinged to the VPN instance (VRF)
Also i can see that the connectivity between your P and PE router using POS interfaces so there is no Ethernet in bweteen so no MTU issues :)
As long as you can reach PE2 VRF interface so the MPLS-VPN traffic switched fine, so please make sure that Host2 can reach PE2 interface then PE1 VRF interface may Host2 dont have default gateway configured on, if not please provide me with this commands
Show ip bgp vpnv4 all su
Show ip vrf interface abc
show ip vrf detail abc
Show mpls forwarding-table vrf abc
traceroute vrf abc host2 (from PE1)
traceroute vrf abc host1 (from PE2)
Please rate helpful posts.

BIOS upgrade breaks Promise Ultra 133 TX2 support on K8N Neo 2 Platium !?

Hello everyone, here is my problem
A few days ago i bought a MSI K8N Neo 2 platinum motherboard, it came preflashed with BIOS version 1.5
I also have a Promise Ultra 133 TX2 PCI IDE controller : http://www.promise.com/product/product_detail_eng.asp?segment=undefined&product_id=87
Now this combination worked without problems but when i reflashed my BIOS to 1.9 my system began acting strange
Sometimes it would hang at POST, and sometimes i was able to get to my OS boatloader but when selecting an OS the system just locked up
When i remove the TX2 card everything works perfect again
I did try everything (No overclocks, safe settings of everything, Clear CMOS,...) but it all didnt help
Only solution for me was to go back to my previous BIOS version
Has anyone else have been experincing problems with this ?
Maybe the upgraded RAID software of the new bios version is messing up things ?
Even better, anyone have a solution for this ?
Tnx
Edit:
After going back to 1.5 i tested 1.8 wich works without problems.
PS:And is it me but after reading a few topics here on the board it seems that many more people are haveing issues with 1.9 ?

Quote from: hansh on 15-September-05, 15:24:08
The solution is: do not flash, unless you have a well defined problem for which a new BIOS version was issued to solve it (and which can be found in the description of the BIOS file).
There is no gain in flashing if you have no problems with the installed BIOS.
Best regards,
Hans
Nice solution ... I am in need of my second ethernet connector so i need a new bios version but i can't upgrade because then the pc will hang on my ultra tx-2 card. No more MSI for me, shaggy piece of wannabe first tier company.
So many bios upgrades have passed and not a singel one has solved the issue. And yes I contacted offical support several times ...
