HP-UX 11i Release Notes (December 2000)

I/0 and Networking Cards

Network Drivers (new)

Chapter 5110

Files Changed

The following ﬁles have changed to include the new btlan driver name:

(these are mostly just name changes):

• kernel library is now called /usr/conf/libbtlan.a

• nettl formatter/catalog ﬁles (no change except instead of btlan3,

btlan4, btlan5, btlan, or btlan6, it will just refer to btlan)

• debug/q4

• lanscan/lanadmin support libraries/catalog ﬁles now have names to

reﬂect btlan such as libdsbtlan.a, dsbtlan.cat, etc.

• master ﬁle

• init scripts/conf ﬁle

The init script will be hpbtlan and the conﬁguration ﬁle will be

called hpbtlanconf.

The conﬁguration ﬁles under /etc/rc.config.d/ will be replaced by

hpbtlanconf. When a cold install is performed, this ﬁle will get

installed for all btlan driver claimed cards. If, however, an upgrade is

done, you can choose to merge the ﬁles using pre-update scripts. If

you do not elect to merge during an upgrade, then the ﬁles will, by

default, be saved as .obsolete ﬁles which can be later merged

manually into the hpbtlanconf ﬁle.
