I understand that AIX for PS/2 now supports 3Com ethernet board(s). Anyone know which model 3Com boards? Anyone know if other vendors' boards are/will be supported? I am most interested in Western Digital. - Gary Chapman, NYU Academic Computing Facility

The code for the latter is not installed in AIX PS/2 as shipped. Instead, it is provided in /usr/nifl/3com/*. This includes a README file which explains how to install the code. These are the only vendor boards currently supported. Russ Heise, AIX Technical Support, IBM rah@ibm.com

(ps the bug was in the order of things in acking interrupts and handing buffer ownership to the chip, sortof...)...
