3Com 3C905C-TX-M Fast EthernetLink XL 10/100

is this NIC always to crash or unstable?
i'm using this card with my solaris 8 10/01, but no anything happen, how can i test my NIC is it running correct?

Hai ...
this is the best supported card on intel environment ....and mostly will recognise with the interface name elxl0 , try to check u r ip add using ..
#ifconfig -a ..... then ping to u r local address ... i hope u can ensure u r nic is working or not.
good luck.

3com 3c905C Causes system crash

Hello,
I've been trying to set up my Solaris 8 (04/01) servers with the 3c905CX-TNM Network cards from 3com.
I use devfsadm -v to find the device
I then use ifconfig elxl0 to plumb the device, which works fine.
Then I use ifconfig elxl0 192.168.50.4 up and the system panics, crashes, and reboots before I can see what the problem is.
Anyway, I have read through this and other boards that this card should work with this system. I've been using Solaris on Sun hardware for the last few years, and have come to like the OS, but for Intel, it's not seeming very cooperative. Any other ideas? Perhaps I should just move my development into Linux.
Thanks,
Mike

How to configure 3Com 3C905C-TX-M...

Hi Everybody,
I am Install the driver software (Solaris8.exe) Solaris support OS from 3Com.com in floppy and now want to configure on Solaris8 x86 plateform. When I am trying like press F4 to add-new device then he need diskket when i put this floppy he told me this is not a valid software I don't know what's happenning with my system. If anybody have other way so please tell me.
My card detail is:- 3Com 3C905C-TX-M EtherLink 10/100 PCI.
Please tell the way how to configure and If any have this driver software provide me...
Thank to all
TanvirSCSA

"Solaris8.exe" is probably a windows self-extracting zip archive, or something like that.
So you probably have to find a windows box, and run / unpack it there. Stupid.
OTOH, there's a also a Sun supplied Solaris 8 patch for the original "elxl" driver, it should add support for
the 3c905c-tx-m card:
http://sunsolve6.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-21-109867-04-1
http://sunsolve6.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-21-109866-05-1
For a fresh install, you need the 109867-04 patch, it should include an image of an "ITU" driver update floppy,
that can be used by the DCA (F4 - add new device driver).

Adding 3COM 3C905C-TX for Solaris Intel

Hi there,
I am trying to add a 3COM 3C905C-TX card for Solaris 8/Intel.
Since it's a PCI card, do i have to specify the irq, address etc
in /platform/../elx.conf, if yes how and where do i get this
info from? i followed the other procedures in the sun doc link
provided several threads ago but ifconfig is still not recognizing
the interface. how do i know for sure if the NIC itself is installed
or not? any insights would be greatly appreciated!!!
vinny.

First you should probably install the latest solaris 8 elxl driver patch 109867-03 / 109866-XX because this patch adds support for the 3C905C cards.
See the "Patches" link on the
Solaris Driver Download page.
(People have also reported that the 3C905C card works without the
patch, but you have to
add entries to certain system files).
PCI cards are self-identifying, so there's not need to add irq's
dma channels or I/O ports to
a driver conf file.
Make sure you perform a reconfiguration boot (either by
specifying option "-r" on the boot command line or by a
"touch /reconfigure" before you reboot solaris).
The command "ifconfig elxl0 plumb" should add an interface
for the 3com network card, afterwards you can use
"ifconfig elxl0 inet 12.34.56.78", ... to configure ip addresses, etc.
If this all works OK, create a new file "/etc/hostname.elxl0" and
insert a single line with the IP-address for the 3com interface
into that file.

Nic adapter 3com 3c905c-TX-M - Please Help

My nic is a 3c905c-TX-M, I installed the NIC and device driver from 3Com for the adapter, it does not work, when I run prtconf I receive the next message:
pci10b7, 1000, instance #0 (driver not attached)
Somebody could help me please
!!! Urgent

Any response would be recreating the wheel as far as 3Com Nics are concerned. Search this forum for 3c90 or 3Com and you will find more that you'd want to know.

3com 3c905C No crash, bad MAC address

Hello,
Thankfully, the 3c905C is now in the machine and doesn't crash it. It boots up great, with no errors.
The next question, is how do I get the NIC to return the correct MAC address for the card?
netstat -p shows:
elxl0 hostname 255.255.255.255 SP 00:00:00:00:00:00
Something tells me this is not the right MAC address, and that this may explain why attempts to bring up an IP on the NIC 'seems' to work, but to the outside world it is unreacheable.
Someone else posted about nvram, not sure if this could be the issue....
Mike

As root you can either do 'ifconfig elxl0' or 'arp `hostname`'. Either should show you the MAC for your card. If you can't get that up, have a look at this thread:
http://forum.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=11&thread=5065
It may be an issue with the driver not loading properly.

Lumia 720 drained so fast even after charging 100%...

Hi all,
I have Nokia Lumia 720 bought a couple of weeks before. I had an update done yesterday for nokia music. And today I have nearly 15% left. Is it something happened after the update? Please help. I am scared to charge again as the same kinda thing happened with my samsung galaxy y dous. Its motherboard is damaged. I dont want the same thing to happen to my new lumia.

after the update, some of the settings may have been altered. here are a few big holes i found causing my battery to drain...
- wifi (should be off when not in use) settings> wifi
- bluetooth (should be off when not in use) settings > bluetooth
i also noticed when i travel (riding around the city or crossing country), the battery drains faster.. perhaps because the temperature is higher. but i think its more about the fone automatically trying to intercept netowrk signals from different cell sites as i move along.
if you haven't yet, this is a good battery app...

Is the new macbook air fast enough to play 100 fps gopro video fluidly?

Hello,
I'm interested in the new macbook air 13. I often use a gopro hero 3 black edition, filming with 100 fps in 960p for slow motion. Is the new macbook air able to play these video fluidly by just pressing the space button in the finder menu. I know that it does play the video fluidly when opening quiktime. If it doesn't work with the space button, would a Intel Core i 7 help. Thanks for your help

After doing some research I found that when I play my video files they are capped at 24FPS on any PC or Mac. Which has further confused me.
So if someone could educate me on if it is possible to have my macbook(been using vlc player) draw more frames out out of a video file or of some other artificial method to get the most out of this TV.
It could very well be possible that I will absolutely have to watch my movies using the physical disc and the appropriate blu-ray player to draw 240FPS but again, if someone could educate me on this I would be grateful. I want to know for sure if it can or can't be done before making that purchase.
Thanks!

Solaris 10 NIC, what do you use?

Well my previous post http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5258945 yeilded no comments other than a link to the approved hardware list http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/, thank you SolarisSAinPA for that little bit of info, but I am sill left with a NIC problem: anything that I can find for sale is either 300+ dollars or "repeported to work"--so my original question:
"Could anyone, or everyone, please chime in with what NIC's they have on their Solaris 10 x86 installs that work great for them, I'd prefer 1 Gb ethernet but 100Mb would be fine too"
I have a list of 6 that are reported to work that are in the less than 100 dollar bracket, but all are "reported to work", others would be well appreciated too:
D-Link DFE-530TX
DFE-550TX
NetGear FA 311
GA 311 (Gigabit)
3Com 3C905C
Realtek 8201CL PHY (on board 10/100 not supported)
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Well thank you all those of you that replied to my posts concerning a NIC for Solaris 10.
I am writing this using my new native Solaris 10 home system now and it is working marvelously.
I settled on the NetGear GA311 (1Gb) ethernet card (about 30 bucks at Staples), eventhough it was listed in the AHL as "reported to work". It works natively with the current build of Solaris 10 and couples to my NetGear 1Gb router at the rated 1Gb max speed--VERY VERY FAST!!!
I just did a sys-unconfig and when the machine rebooted it instantly recognised the NIC and configured it to 1Gb.
If you are looking to run Solaris 10 Native, I recomend the GA311, it's working great for me!

3C905C-TX Card

The HCL does not list the 3COM 3C905C-TX as supported. However, it looks as though patch 109867-03 might add 3C905C-TX driver support. Is this correct?
I am running Solaris 8 IA 10/00.
Thanks again for all your help.
George R. Sealy

Hi,
The card is in HCL list. Kindly check on http://access1.sun.com under compatibility list. As per update of 1/01 Hardware compatibility List this card is included.
The patch 109867-03/109866-XX should give you latest driver for elxl driver for Solaris8.
I hope this helps you.
Thanks,
Santosh

Is there a way to make internet connections work faster?

My wife has a Macbook and I have the MB Air and we are both running off Time Capsule. Many times when we are both using the internet it becomes a crawl, especially if TC is backing up or we are trying to use Mail or trying to view something on a web site.
I have seen some software out there that claims to speed things up and makes the connection work more efficiently. Does anyone have experience with this? The one recommended to me was IPNetrouterX which has good reviews but is very expensive.
Thanks
Richard

It's a bandwidth issue - the size of the pipe, which you cannot work around. if your network is 100 Mb/s and you have three equal users, each gets about 33 Mb/s. You can't get more out of a network than you put in. The only solution is more bandwidth, a larger pipe. A 1 Gb/s network will be faster if yours is 100 Mb/s.
You can use a 1 Gb network if all your devices support that speed. Of course that will be your LAN or WAN speed. The speed to the internet is dependent on the bandwidth your ISP is providing you.
Don't confuse internet speed with local network speed. Your "internet" speed is constant, it's the sharing that is slowing the LAN.

Afp: write fast, read slow. Is that normal?

Hi,
I find that I can write fast over my network when using afp, but reads are very slow. This happens when writing from one mac to another (one running 10.3.9 the other 1.4.8) or between either of the two macs and a Linux server running netatalk 2.0.2. So I guess it's not OS or machine related, but related to either afp itself or my network.
When I try these connections with Helios LANtest, I get write speeds of about 2.7 MB/s and read speeds of 0.30 MB/s.
Are others experiencing this too, or is there something wrong with my network?
TIA
iBook Mac OS X (10.4.8) Debian Linux user

After a few experiment here... using activity Monitor to watch transfers though.
Via Wireless was really slow, much slower reading than writing though. On Ethernet 10/100 when one end was set to Automatic, copying from the distant one was about half as fast, setting it to 100/Full Duplex on both ends made reads and writes about equal... 1-1.3MBs
On Wireless, just not having the Copy Window in front would immediately drag it down from 100-200KBs to 20-60KBs, bringing the Copy Window back front would slowly take it back up to speed.

Intel Gigabit CT NIC (82574L -- e1000e) not working at all

Just bought a brand-new Intel gigabit PCI-Express NIC from NewEgg.
After plugging it in and booting, the e1000e module is loaded for it, but I'm not able to force it to work at all (I have tried the official Intel driver v1.3.10a).
I am using the 2.6.38.1 kernel (.2 has no relevant changes, I checked). The NIC is connected to a rather old 3Com network hub that only supports 100Mb/s (I'm okay with that for now), and from there to my router.
I'd like to try without the hub, but it'd be a pain to move everything over, as the cable won't reach, and I have no other PCs with PCI-Express to test the card in. I'll be trying Windows 7 ASAP.
I can switch back to my 3Com 3c905c-TX PCI 100Mb/s NIC with no issue there.

I'd rather not have to ship it back and find another NIC.

If anyone could help me out with this, thank you very very much.
I can't find any solid assistance by searching.
I'd rather not have to ship it back and find another NIC.

P4 2.4Ghz+ 648Max-L + 256MB DDR333 + Quantum 20 LCT 20 ATA 66 = SLOW

My new PC is very slow when accessing to hardisk.
Is it due to my old hardisk's bottleneck?
Please help

My complete Spec as below:
P4 2.4B (533)
MSI 648Max-L
Kingston PC2700 256MB DDR333
Quantum LCT20 20GB ATA66 5400 (PM)
Quantum LCT20 20GB ATA66 5400 (PS)
Quantum LCT20 30GB ATA66 5400 (PS)
Asus DVD 16x (PM)
Sound Blaster Live! Value (Disabled onboard sound)
Altec Lansing 4100
Asus V9180TD GeForece4 MX 440 64MB DDR with AGP 8x
3Com 3c905c 10/100 NIC
Symbios SCSI Card + Yahama CDRW 16 x 10 x 24
Enlight 300W ATX Casing
Windows XP + SP1
I have enabled the "32 Bit Transfer modes" but still the same...Slow....
Anything else I change try or I must change a new and faster Hardisk?
If I change to Maxtor 20GB 2B020H1 5400rpm ATA 100 will it help to increase my PC performance?
Have nice day

Solaris 8 installation in Dell 8100 met "Resource Confilict"

Hello There,
During I installated Solaris 8 in Dell Dimension 8100, I received the warning message:
"Resource Conflict: both devices are added.
NON-ACPI device:PNP0c01
Port 800-8DF, C00-C7F; Memory FFB00000-FFFFFFFF
ACPI device:PNP0C01
Memory: 9FC00-9FFFF, 3f87000-7F86FFF, FFFB0000-FFBFFFFF, FFC00000-FFFFFFFF."
How can I recovery this "CONFLICT".
Thanks very much !!!
Jack

AFAIK, this is a warning and can be ignored. But on dell
systems there a lot of other problems that can prevent
a successful solaris 8 installation (dell keyboard problems,
problems with a panic when the system include a 3com
3c905c NIC, ACPI problems, ...).

Does it crash/reboot when you continue?
Try to boot from the "Software 1 of 2" CDROM and at the
"1 interactive or 2 custom jumpstart" prompt type "b kadb -v"
instead of "1" or "2". In case it crashes while booting the
solaris kernel from cdrom, this should give some usable
error message...
