Always-Installed Networking Drivers
Chapter 4

NOTE The HWEnable11i 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 HWEnable11i 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-00, GigEther-01, and IEther-00 (Gigabit Ethernet)
For Gigabit Ethernet, HP-UX 11i v2 supplies the GigEther-00, GigEther-01, and
IEther-00 driver bundles, which supply the gelan, igelan, and iether drivers,
respectively.
Summary of Change
Changes since the May 2005 release of HP-UX 11i v2 include:
• Checksum Offload (CKO) changes for the iether and igelan Gigabit Ethernet
drivers:
The default for transmit side CKO will be OFF (disabled). The current CKO settings
can be determined with the following command:
lanadmin -x cko <ppa>
If desired, the previous settings can be restored with the new driver by using the
lanadmin -X command. The exact lanadmin command is as follows (note that the X
is capitalized in these commands):
