[comp.unix.aix] AIX driver for 3-com ethernet card

herman@pollux.cs.kuleuven.ac.be (Herman Moons) (02/07/91)

Hello,

We have a 3-com ethernet card for PS/2.  Apparently, AIX (version 1.2)
doesn't know this type of card.  Is there anyone out there who has a
driver for this type of card ?

You just needed to look a little harder! AIX 1.2 DOES have a driver for
the 3-com card, its just that it's not in the kernel as shipped, its in
what's called the 'nifl' library. Look in the subdirectory /usr/nifl and
you will find another directory 3com, I believe everything you need is
there including instructions for installing it. Good luck.
