 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 EN165X, UK000X, UL000X 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.
