Contents of the Subdirectory: ============================= GETU.PKG The ethernet driver for Unixware/OpenUnix. UNIXWARE.TXT This file. Installation: ============= SCO UnixWare 7.x / OpenUnix 8 Installing driver procedure on SCO UnixWare7/OpenUnix8 : ----------------------------------------- Before you start with the installation process, make sure that the SCO Unixware/OpenUnix system is properly installed. Similarly, your adapter should also be properly installed in your machine. 1. Installation Diskette in DOS format. Put the "VIA Networking Velocity Family Gigabit Ethernet Adapter" SCO Unixware/OpenUnix Driver diskette to floppy A: and use mcopy command to copy Driver into Unixware/OpenUnix's directories. # cd / # mcopy A:/getu.pkg /tmp 2. Run 'pkgadd' utility to add the driver software to system. # pkgadd -d /tmp/getu.pkg => Select "1 getu VIA Networking Velocity Family Gigabit Ethernet Adapter Driver" to add the driver package to the system. => quit 3. Use 'scoadmin' utility to add adapters. # scoadmin => Select "Networking" item from the item list and press enter. => Select "Network Configuration Manager" item from the item list and press enter. => Select "Add New Lan Adapter" menu item from "Hardware". => Select the "VIA Networking Velocity Family Gigabit Ethernet Adapter" item from the item list. => select Network driver options for speed mode, duplex mode and flow control setting. => Add protocol(s) to the adapter. 4. Return to the command prompt. 5. Shutdown the system and reboot. # cd / # shutdown NOTE: 1. If you want to install more than one network adapter, you should do the 4th, 5th, 6th steps above for each network card separately. 2. This driver can support up to four network adapters. Network driver options: ======================= 1) Connection type Speed Mode is used for setting the speed of NIC. Value: Auto : indicate autonegotiation for speed mode(Default). 100_HALF_DUPLEX : indicate speed is 10Mbps, duplex is half. 100_FULL_DUPLEX : indicate speed is 100Mbps, duplex is full. 10_HALF_DUPLEX : indicate speed is 10Mbps, duplex is half. 10_FULL_DUPLEX : indicate speed is 10Mbps, duplex is full. 2) Flow Control Flow Control is used for setting the flow control ability of NIC. Value: HW_Default_Auto: Use Hardware default value. Enable_TX: enable TX flow control. Enable_RX: enable RX flow control. Enable_TX_RX: enable TX/RX flow control. Disable: disable flow control. When setting to Hardware Default(Auto), the flow control setting is according to the auto-negotiation result based on PHY hardware default values. However, when setting to other values(Enable_TX, Enable_RX...), driver will just disable or enable flow control ability according to your setting. 3) Drop invalid 802.3 frame Drop invalid 802.3 frame is used for controlling driver should drop invalid 802.3 fram or not. Value: Disable: Receiving invalid 802.3 frame Enable: Drop invalid 802.3 frame
