- Okay, I'm running a Sun SPARCstation-1 (sunos 4.1.2) and I've
- successfully installed the stanford enet filter as "/dev/enet-le0".
- [Not real sure, kinda hard to test that w/o a functioning CAP...]
-
- I'm just trying to do a simple test-install of cap60 with
- Native EtherTalk (Phase-2).
-
- Right off the bat, when I try to run aarpd with the command-line
-
- aarpd le0 "TheZone"
-
- I get the following error message
-
- open: /dev/enetXX: No such file or directory
- 10:48:48 09/14/92 pi_open: aarp_init: No such file or directory
- init_enet: network initialization failed
-
- So, I seem to have some problems... :-)
-
- Needless to say, I wouldn't mind corresponding with someone who's had
- experience setting up cap60 in this way.
-
- Any information would be helpful,

- I'm using the /dev/nit drivers now, but I have set up cap to work with
- the enet filters before.
-
- I believe that the enet drivers have to be installed just as the error
- message indicates. Try doing the following:
-
- Erase you're current enet devices in /dev.
-
- Issue the following exact command:
- mknod /dev/enet0 c 4 0
-
- Now, change the line in your startup file to read
-
- aarpd enet0 "TheZone"
-
- And I believe this should work. I think the problem is that cap does
- not give you complete freedom in what you name the devices, and it
- expects the word "enet" followed by a number.
