i own (among others) a ps/2 (model 8580-311) i used aix 1.1 (freshly installed) i've slot an ethercard (in slot #7 if that matter) i used the reference diskette to have the board recognized, i compile some kernel (newkernel in /usr/sys) i even RTFM thouh it doesn't help very much, when invoking ifconfig net0 192.XX.XX.XX i get IOCTL: no such interface. does anyone out there use networking on thick ethernet, mount NFS directory ? any help will be apreciatte. email is picard@ilog.ilog.fr thanks.

You do not say what type of ethernet card you have in the system, 1.1 only supports the Ungerman Bass (sp?) card. Just to verify that the device driver is in the kernel, if you give the command 'netstat -i' does it show the net0 interface (it will show all network interfaces configured into the kernel regardless of whether or not you have the hardware)?? If net0 is not shown you will need to edit the /etc/system file to add it, if it is then you have a problem with the hardware (like wrong type card). >does anyone out there use networking on thick ethernet, mount NFS directory ? I am not sure what you mean here, in answer to the first question, yes most places use thick as opposed to thin ethernet, or at least most places that run AIX that I deal with. On the reference to NFS, 1.1 does not have NFS, 1.2 for the PS/2 does, if this is important you have a significant reason to upgrade.
