Well, it seems that Shiva, the new owners of the EtherPortII card, are not
yet finished with their A/UX drivers for their card yet, so none are available
from them. Also, I've been told by Dayna Customer Support that they are no
longer providing THEIR A/UX drivers for the EtherPortII card either, since
it's not theirs anymore...
That means that if you have a EtherPortII card, you don't have drivers for
it to work under 2.0(.1)...
Well, you do now!
I will provide the drivers (available via anon-ftp) for the half-length
(National-based) EtherPortII card until Shiva has their versions ready. These
drivers work under 2.0 and 2.0.1 and are ONLY for the newer half-length EPII
cards. I am also providing the drivers for the older full-length EPII cards,
but these drivers were orginally written for A/UX 1.1. They WILL work under
2.0(.1) but ONLY provide TCP/IP capability.
These drivers should ONLY be used to get us over the hump until Shiva's drivers
are ready. If you snag these drivers then you do so with the agreement that
once Shiva's version are ready, you will delete these and get theirs. Okay?
The full-length drivers are called: EPIIdr.tar.Z
The half-length drivers are called: dp.tar.Z
Located in: ~/ftp/pub
Located on: jagubox.gsfc.nasa.gov
Be SURE to get these via BINARY tranfer mode. Also, read the README files,
especially for the dp drivers, since they "require" installation via finstall
and therefore are kinda cumbersome.
