Selectable Networking Drivers

The following table lists drivers that are not automatically installed, but can be selected during installation. For more details about changes to these drivers, see the remainder of this section.

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.

PCIMUX-00

The HP AD278A/AD279A PCI MUX is a high-speed serial communication multiple port product. It combines various signals for transmission over a single channel and provides intelligent communication functions to off-load CPUserial communication processing tasks.

Summary of Change

The PCIMUX-00 driver bundle, which delivers the pci_mux1 driver, has been added to the HP-UX 11i v1 Operating Environments to support the AD278A and AD279A cards.




	NOTE: The installation of this driver bundle requires the `insf` patch. This patch is automatically selected when updating an existing system with `PCIMUX-00` driver.
