Networking and Mass Storage Drivers
HP-UX 11i v2 includes drivers for networking and mass storage adapter cards. The drivers are
described in the following sections:

• “Selectable Networking Drivers” (page 94)
• “Always-Installed Mass Storage Drivers” (page 95)
• “Default-Installed Mass Storage Drivers” (page 99)
For the most current information on supported I/O cards, see the set of Support Matrixes available
on the I/O Cards and Networking Software Web page at
http://www.docs.hp.com/en/netcom.html. At the top of the page, click the link for the
card technology you are interested in, then scroll down to the Support Matrixes heading. If a
support matrix for your card technology is unavailable, check the card’s user guide or release
notes.
Always-Installed Networking Drivers
This release includes changes to the following always-installed networking drivers.
“Always-installed” means that the driver is automatically installed during HP-UX installation.
NOTE: The FEATURE11i bundle, which is normally installed by default on the 11i OE media,
provides the patches that are required for the installation of these networking bundles. When
updating an existing 11i system, you can install the FEATURE11i bundle and the desired
networking bundle from the OE media in the same install session to meet software dependencies.
In addition to currently supported cards, the swlist report may contain the product numbers
of cards that have been “pre-enabled,” but have not been released yet.
GigEther-01 (Gigabit Ethernet Networking Driver Bundle)
The Gigabit Ethernet networking driver bundle GigEther-01 (version B.11.23.0712) delivers
the igelan driver.
