 Accton ISA Ethernet Adapter Solaris for X86 Driver Installation
=================================================================
			Ver 1.10	4/6/1994

This is the SunSoft Solaris X86 Ethernet network driver installation
procedure for Accton's series products.

When Solaris X86 Unix was installed successfully then you can start network
installation:

1.  Install Accton ISA Ethernet adapter in your PC.

2.  Run 1Step or Setup program(from Accton Driver Program Diskette)
    to configure and test the adapter.
    (Record the IRQ and I/O address for later use)

3.  Startup the system and log on to Solaris as Superuser(root).

4.  Remove /etc/hostname.*  and reboot the system if you had installed
    network driver.
    ( if you used the SMC's 'smc' driver, you must have the file
    /etc/hostname.smc0. For Accton 'actn' driver, the installation program
    will create the file /etc/hostname.actn0.)

	# rm /etc/hostname.*
	# halt

5.  Copy the install package file (acctar.16) from Accton's distributed
    diskette or BBS to the SunSoft Solaris X86 unix system's /tmp directory.

	# mount -F pcfs /dev/diskette /mnt
	# cp /mnt/acctar.16 /tmp
	# umount /mnt

6.  At the prompt, execute the commands "dos2unix' and "uudecode" to
    change the file data format, as follows:

	 # cd /tmp
	 # dos2unix acctar.16 acctar.uu
	 # uudecode acctar.uu

7.  Extract the driver installation package files (Acc.tar).

	 # tar xvf Acc.tar

8.  Copy the install package file directory (Accton165) and contents
    to /var/spool/pkg.

	 # cp -r Accton165 /var/spool/pkg

9.  Install the driver in the Solaris unix.

	 # pkgadd Accton165

    The Console prompts you for the following:

    Where should the device driver object be installed [/kernel/drv]? _
	(Press Enter Key)

    Should required driver configuration files be modified [y,n]? _
	(Press "y" key)

    Should /etc/hostname.actn0 be created with the current system name? _
	(Please key in system Hostname )

    Do you want to continue with the installation of this package [y,n,?]_
	(Press "y" key)

    The Console will inform you when driver installation is completed.


10. Edit /kernel/drv/actn.conf to change "ioaddr" and "intr" value
    specified in step 2.

    Warning: The values of IRQ and I/O address in actn.conf file
	     must match the values set in 1Step/Setup program.

    Sample actn.conf is:

# Driver.conf file for the "Accton EN165"
#
# The ioaddr property is the base I/O port address.
# The second number in the "intr" specification is the IRQ.
# The second and third numbers of the "reg" specification are the
#	physical address and the length in bytes of the device's
#	memory-mapped address space.
# The optional multisize property specifies the number of multicast
#	addresses to be supported by this device driver; default 16.
#
# See isa(4) for details about the format of this file.

name="actn" class="sysbus" ioaddr=0x300 intr=5,3 reg=0,0xc8000,0x4000;
				     |	       |---> IRQ 3
				     |---> I/O port address

11. Edit /etc/hosts to add my IP address and hostname.
    Edit /etc/netmasks to add netmask.

	ex. /etc/hosts
		127.0.0.1	 localhost loghost
		<my IP address>  <my hostname>
		     .. 	      ..

12. Driver is installed successful, Reboot the system.

	#halt


13. If you want to remove Accton165 package, first remove
    /etc/hostname.actn0 and reboot the system.

    After the system startup, remove the /etc/hostname.actn0

	 # rm /etc/hostname.actn0
	 # halt

    Then, reboot the system and run "pkgrm Accton165"

	 # pkgrm Accton165

How To Update Drivers Manually

After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.

  • Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).

  • If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.

  • Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.

  • Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.

  • Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.

  • From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.

  • Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.

Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
