Gigabit Ethernet Drivers
new for December
2003
The iether driver now supports two new Gigabit Ethernet cards: the A7011A is a PCI-X
2-Port 1000Base-SX (fiber-based) card; the A7012A is a PCI-X 2-Port 1000Base-T
(copper-based) card. If you have purchased either of these cards as a factory-installed
card, the driver and its patch dependency (PHNE_28923) will already be on your system.
If you are adding either of these cards to an existing system, please make sure you use
the December 2003 application media to install patch PHNE_28923 and the required
driver bundle (IEther-00).
In the December 2003 release of HP-UX 11i, the Gigabit Ethernet driver gelan
incorporates defect fixes listed in patch PHNE_28883.
