following error: "Warning: one or more EISA cards could not be configured." Ignore this message. When you install the software, you will resolve this problem. If you have an earlier version of FDDI/9000 EISA, you must do the following: 1. Remove all FDDI EISA patches. 2.

stream is processed on another processor simultaneously, it could result in an instruction page fault panic due to the function pointer being NULL. 2. The interface status as up even when the cable is disconnected. 3. This problem was fixed in an earlier patch by increasing the transmit FIFO - HP FDDI 9000 | FDDI/9000 EISA Adapter Release Notes - Page 14
subsequent error log messages were not getting logged with nettl. 6. Enhancement request to have SNMP subagent supported on the EISA FDDI driver. 6. The EISA FDDI SNMP subagent was not being supported. The reason to have this feature is to maintain consistency between the different FDDI cards, and - HP FDDI 9000 | FDDI/9000 EISA Adapter Release Notes - Page 15

HPMCs could occur during the execution of the code that autorecovers the interface after transmit time. 3. The transmit hang autorecovery code uses the - HP FDDI 9000 | FDDI/9000 EISA Adapter Release Notes - Page 28
more than once, resulting in a system panic. The code has been modified to insure that the inbound buffer will be freed only once. 5. This problem was fixed in an earlier patch by increasing the transmit FIFO watermark on the FSI chip to MTU size. However, the FIFO watermark was getting - HP FDDI 9000 | FDDI/9000 EISA Adapter Release Notes - Page 29
