Supported adapters -===================== - -The network driver 'skfp' supports the following network adapters: -SysKonnect adapters: - - - SK-5521 (SK-NET FDDI-UP) - - SK-5522 (SK-NET FDDI-UP DAS) - - SK-5541 (SK-NET FDDI-FP) - - SK-5543 (SK-NET FDDI-LP) - - SK-5544 (SK-NET FDDI-LP DAS) - - SK-5821 (SK-NET FDDI-UP64) - - SK-5822 (SK-NET FDDI-UP64 DAS) - - SK-5841 (SK-NET FDDI-FP64) - - SK-5843 (SK-NET FDDI-LP64) - - SK-5844 (SK-NET FDDI-LP64 DAS) - -Compaq adapters (not tested): - - - Netelligent 100 FDDI DAS Fibre SC - - Netelligent 100 FDDI SAS Fibre SC - - Netelligent 100 FDDI DAS UTP - - Netelligent 100 FDDI SAS UTP - - Netelligent 100 FDDI SAS Fibre MIC - - -3. General Information -====================== - -From v2.01 on, the driver is integrated in the linux kernel sources. -Therefore, the installation is the same as for any other adapter -supported by the kernel. - -Refer to the manual of your distribution about the installation -of network adapters. - -Makes my life much easier :-) - -4. Troubleshooting -================== - -If you run into problems during installation, check those items: - -Problem: - The FDDI adapter cannot be found by the driver. - -Reason: - Look in /proc/pci for the following entry: - - 'FDDI network controller: SysKonnect SK-FDDI-PCI ...' - - If this entry exists, then the FDDI adapter has been - found by the system and should be able to be used. - - If this entry does not exist or if the file '/proc/pci' - is not there, then you may have a hardware problem or PCI - support may not be enabled in your kernel. - - The adapter can be checked using the diagnostic program - which is available from the SysKonnect web site: - - www.syskonnect.de - - Some COMPAQ machines have a problem with PCI under - Linux. This is described in the 'PCI howto' document - (included in some distributions or available from the - www, e.g. at 'www.linux.org') and no workaround is available. - -Problem: - You want to use your computer as a router between - multiple IP subnetworks (using multiple adapters), but - you cannot reach computers in other subnetworks. - -Reason: - Either the router's kernel is not configured for IP - forwarding or there is a problem with the routing table - and gateway configuration in at least one of the - computers. - -If your problem is not listed here, please contact our -technical support for help. - -You can send email to: linux@syskonnect.de - -When contacting our technical support, -please ensure that the following information is available: - -- System Manufacturer and Model -- Boards in your system -- Distribution -- Kernel version - - -5. Function of the Adapter LEDs -=============================== - - The functionality of the LED's on the FDDI network adapters was - changed in SMT version v2.82. With this new SMT version, the yellow - LED works as a ring operational indicator. An active yellow LED - indicates that the ring is down. The green LED on the adapter now - works as a link indicator where an active GREEN LED indicates that - the respective port has a physical connection. - - With versions of SMT prior to v2.82 a ring up was indicated if the - yellow LED was off while the green LED(s) showed the connection - status of the adapter. During a ring down the green LED was off and - the yellow LED was on. - - All implementations indicate that a driver is not loaded if - all LEDs are off. - - -6.
