Known Problems

•  If some cases, the ethernet controller does not establish good link  with the hub or switch to which it is attached. This sometimes  happens when all of the following conditions are true:
  •  The ethernet controller is in auto negotiation mode (the default)
  •  The hub or switch attached to the ethernet controller does NOT support auto negotiation
  •  The length of cable between the ethernet controller and the hub or  switch is between 35 and 42 meters

     In most cases, the ethernet controller can determine the line speed  correctly even if the attached hub or switch does not support auto  negotiation. If you are having problems use the device driver  overrides to manually configure the ethernet controller mode to  match the hub or switch mode. As with any adapter, if the hub or  switch is configured for full duplex and does not support auto  negotiation, then you must use the device driver manual overrides  for proper operation.

•  Some configurations of the failover function do not operate  correctly with the NetWare driver. See the NetWare section below  for additional details.
•  Under SCO, there is a bug during driver removal when using  netconfig. Users have to manually remove the pnt directory under  /etc/conf/pack.d. Otherwise, the next installation of pnt driver will not work.
