Installing the Driver for UnixWare

# Intel PRO/100 Network Driver for UnixWare* and OpenServer* 6

| NOTE: UnixWare 7 and OpenServer 6 share the same kernel, and thus the same network driver. If you have OpenServer version 5, Please refer to the installation instructions for OpenServer.

## Installation and Configuration

When installing and configuring network adapters, you may need to refer to SCO* UnixWare* documentation. Have this documentation available during the installation process.

To install the eeE8.pkg file you must be logged in as the root or super user.

To ensure predictable behavior when installing network adapters, remove the configuration settings for all adapters and reboot the system prior to configuring new adapters or reconfiguring installed adapters (see instructions below). For maximum system stability, it is recommended that all network adapters be configured with the same driver type.

### Recommendations

- Do not select "Cancel" when in the process of adding an adapter. If you are in the process of configuring an adapter and decide to cancel the configuration, selecting "Cancel" may cause the Network Configuration Manager to hang. To prevent this, complete the configuration of the adapter and then use Network Configuration Manager to modify or remove it.

- PCI Hot Plug*-enabled systems require the eeE8 (DDI8) driver. Normally, when using PCI Hot Plug, the adapters must only be configured using the Hot Plug utility. For example: scoadmin hot. PCI Hot Plug capabilities also require a Hot Plug Controller driver and the appropriate PCI Hot Plug ptfs.

The Intel PRO/100 adapter driver for SCO UnixWare is packaged in the eeE8.pkg file. To install the eeE8.pkg file and setup the eeE8 (DDI8) driver for a network adapter, perform the following steps:

1. Make sure no other users are logged on and all user applications are closed.

2. Start the Network Configuration Manager:

   > netcfg

3. Remove any adapters that are configured with the old drivers by selecting the Hardware menu -> Remove Network Device.

   Exit the Network Configuration Manager.

4. Verify that there is not an older version of the driver on the system:

   > pkginfo -l eeE8

   If there is, remove the driver:

   > pkgrm eeE8

   Reboot the system:

   > init 6

5. If you are installing the new driver from the CD, follow these steps. Otherwise, go to the next step.

   Mount the CDROM on the system. For example:

   > mkdir /<cdrom_mount_location>
   > mount -F cdfs -r /dev/cdrom/cdrom1 /<cdrom_mount_location>

   You can install the driver directly from the CDROM or spool the driver from the CDROM so the driver resides on the system. Example of installing the driver directly from the CD:

   > pkgadd –d /<cdrom_mount_location>/PRO100/UNIXWARE/eeE8.pkg

   Example of spooling the driver from the CD to the system:

   > pkgadd -s spool –d /<cdrom_mount_location>/PRO100/UNIXWARE/eeE8.pkg eeE8
   > pkgadd eeE8

6. If you are downloading the latest driver, save the package to a directory on your system; for example, the /tmp directory.

   You can install the driver from this directory or spool the driver from the directory so the driver resides on the system. Example of installing the driver from the directory:

   > pkgadd –d /<dir_location>/eeE8.pkg

   Example of spooling the driver from the directory to the system:

   > pkgadd -s spool –d /<dir_location>/eeE8.pkg eeE8
   > pkgadd eeE8

7. Run netcfg and add the adapters. For each adapter that is present in the system, enter the appropriate TCP/IP parameters. By default, the driver automatically detects the line speed and duplex mode. If you want to force any of these settings, choose Advanced Options and set the speed and duplex modes.
