4. devices.pci.11100200 & devices.pci.0d111200 –
(PCI Ethernet 10/100 Mbps Adapters)
Known Problems
It is not possible to use the adapter 76730263–001 (label B5-M) in a point-to-point
connection (i.e. with a crossover table) to the Ethernet-on-board of a Estrella 300 platform
at 100 Mbps: the adapter reports loss of signals that prevents correct operation. The
behaviour is correct when both equipments (the 76730263–001 adapter and the
ethernet-on-board of the Estrella 300) are connected to a 100 Mbps Ethernet hub (or
switch).
5. devices.pci.48110040 – (PCI FDDI Adapters)
The devices.pci.48110040 package provides software and diagnostic tests to connect
FDDI Adapters Fibre Single Ring, UTP Single Ring and Fibre Dual Ring.
This package is present on the Bull Enhancement CD-ROM for the PCI FDDI adapters that
are marked with the label B5-3, B5-4, or B5-5.
The PCI FFDI adapters without the label B5-3, B5-4, or B5-5 are delivered with a separate
diskette or CD-ROM containing the package. You must install the devices.pci.48110040
from this media and not from the Bull Enhancement CD-ROM.
