[comp.unix.aux] Can't get Ethernet up

kleinow@caen.engin.umich.edu (leonard kleinow) (11/15/90)

Ok, here's one:
 
Just got a Cabletron ethernet card for my Mac IIci running A/UX 2.0.  The 
card works just fine, as evidenced by my writing this letter thru it right
now.  However, A/UX refuses to have anything to do with it.
 
When I enter 'newconfig -v nfs' in a commandshell window,
it tells me that I have three cards installed, and it cannot find
drivers for any of them.  It doesn't surprise me for the SuperMac video or
the color printer card, but it should have a driver for the ethernet card,
right?  I mean, I used the Installer to install EtherTalk 2.0, and viewing
with ResEdit shows all the resources are in /mac/sys/System Folder/System.
 
In other news, A/UX 2.0 refuses to talk to my AppleShare server which runs
on a MacPlus, but does talk to the one upstairs running on an SE/30.  What
do I have to do to the Mac Plus?
 
Thanks,

You need an A/UX compatible driver for this card, most likely.

Probably, the MacPlus is running Appletalk phase 1.  Upgrade it to phase 2.
