- I have someone asking me about setting up his model 350 running
- AIX 3.2.mumble (could be from 0 to 3 for all I know) and connecting
- to ethernet. No problem, I've done about 20 or so RS/6000's. Well,
- when one does 'smit -C chgenet', it lists all the normal options,
- but NO line for switching from bnc to dix! (Of course, we need dix :)
- Using the X based smit did the same thing.
-
- I only had about 10 minutes to work on it before a meeting, but
- has it changed how to change dix/bnc? Email preferred, and I'll
- summarize (I'm like, WWWWAAAAYYYY behind in news!) Perhaps I
- can blindly do a "chdev -l 'ent0' -a bnc_select='dix'". BUT, why
- is there no 'line' in smit, and no error message?
-
- Thanks
- James
