I sincerely express my thanks to the netters who replied my help mail. From Doug McCallum, Interactive Systems Corp, dougm@ico.isc.com: > What version of WD card is it? If it is the WD8003E/A, the driver in > the TCP/IP 1.2 release does not support it. Contact your distributor > or the WD bulletin board. We will have a driver available in the near > future that supports it. This is why I couldn't start up the Ethernet card. The version of WD I have installed is the WD8003E/A. 8-( I also got many mails which indicate possible solutions and reasons to my problem. And why I can't get the WD EtherCard info from "Test the Computer" of the Reference Main Menu. From Tom Tanida <tanida@gov.css.eldir>: > The WD Ethercard will not show up on the Reference disk main menu, despite > the fact that you have a Microchannel machine. The way to test the card > is to use the testing utility provided on the Western Digital "SuperDisk", > which comes with the card. Many people mentioned edit /etc/conf/sdevice.d/wd to make sure correct setting in it, for example, interrupt level, IO Base & Ram Base addresses. I would like to get more help from you. Now I have another ethernet board from 3Com. Unfortunately, there is no documentation of it. The board is 3Com EtherLink/MC, 1987 Copyright, 4233-02 REV A (I am not sure it is version number). There is a barcode Z98233 MC on the back of the board. One question is that INTERACTIVE UNIX (version 2.2) and TCP/IP (version 1.2) support this board? Another is which position of the jumper setting is for AUI Port Standard Ethernet? I suppose there is only one jumper called J1 on the board. Now the setting is J1 A . [. .] B Thanks lots, S.
