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

The GigEther-01 and IEther-00 driver bundles have been updated to pre-enable future technology. The driver bundle version for each driver is incremented as follows:

  • IEther-00 version is 11.23.0609.

  • GigEther-01 version is 11.23.0609.

Impact

There is no impact.

Compatibility

There are no known compatibility issues.

Performance

There are no known performance issues.

Documentation

For further information about the drivers, see the specific driver release notes at http://docs.hp.com (navigate to I/O Cards and Networking Software then to Gigabit Ethernet).

A list of systems that use the currently supported Gigabit Ethernet drivers is located in the HP-UX Ethernet Driver Support Matrix, Edition 2 (for the September 2004 release and later). It is located at http://docs.hp.com (navigate to I/O Cards and Networking Software then to Gigabit Ethernet).

Obsolescence
