PCI Ethernet Cards for IBM RISC 6000 - B50's

I am trying to find PCI Ethernet cards that are compatible with the IBM RISC 6000 - B50 Power PC. None of the regular NIC's seem to have AIX drivers. Does anyone know of AIX drivers for standard PCI Ethernet NIC's or a non IBM NIC that works with the Model B50 at 10/100 MB ?

sysdata

sysdata(1)						      General Commands Manual							sysdata(1)

NAME

       sysdata - find basic hardware system data

SYNOPSIS

       sysdata

DESCRIPTION

       After  the  atlc  package is built, a small benchmark is run as part of the testing procedure. This benchmark tries to get some information
       about the hardware. The program sysdata displays the same hardware information that the benchmark will display, but runs in a fraction of a
       second,	whereas  the benchmark can take from 19 s (quad 1.4 GHz Itainium 2 machine) to 14,906 s (for a very old 33.3 MHz Cray Y-MP). There
       are no options or arguments to sysdata

       The information gathered on hardware and software both developed by the same company (i.e. Solaris on Suns, AIX on  IBM	RS/6000,  IRIX	on
       SGI,  ...  etc etc) is generally more informative than the free systems (Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD, FreeBSD) where it is usually impossible to
       get much hardware information.

EXAMPLES

       Here are some examples of the use of sysdata on a number of systems. The large number of examples is for my own use as much as anything, so
       I can keep track of the development of sysdata and see easily where it needs extending. Examples are presented for:

       1) Sun Ultra 80 running Solaris 9
       2) HP C3000 running HP-UX 11
       3) SGI Octane running IRIX 6.5.16
       4) IBM RS/6000 running AIX 5.2
       5) Dec Alpha 600a Personal Workstation running Tru64 5.1B
       6) Cray Y-MP running UNICOS 9
       7) Sun SPARCstation 20 running NetBSD 1.6
       8) Sun SPARCstation 20 running OpenBSD 3.2
       9) Sun SPARCstation 20 running Debian Linux
       10) Sun SPARCstation 20 running Solaris 2.5
       11) Generic PC with 350 MHz Pentium II running Redhat Linux 7.2

       Here's the output from sysdata on these 11 systems.

       Here's an example on a HP 9000 series Visualize C3000 workstation, fitted with one 400 MHz PA-RISC 8500 CPU and 1.5 Gb of RAM

       e.g. 2 (HP 9000 series Visualize C3000)

       Here's another example this time on an SGI Octane R10000 with 2 x 195 MHz processors. Note the CPU and FPU types reported at not the R10000
       and R10010 that are reported by SGI's hinv. sysdata is not meant to replace other more sophisticated ways of obtaining  system  information
       (such as hinv on IRIX), but its data is useful to record for benchmarking purposes.

       e.g. 3 (SGI Octane R1000)
       Hardware provider:    SGI
       Hardware platform:    unknown

       Here's an example using an IBM RS/6000 F50 with 4 x 332 MHz CPUs and 1 GB of RAM.

       And here's an example from a single 599 MHz processor Dec Alpha 600a Personal Workstation running Tru64 5.1B

       Here's some data collected on a very old Cray Y-MP, which was introduced in 1991.

       e.g 6 (Cray Y-MP running UNICOS)

       Hardware provider:    Cray
       Hardware platform:    Y-MP
       Machine: 	     CRAY_Y-MP

       That  is all the examples of commercial hardware running the operating systems made by the manufacturers of the hardware. The following are
       free UNIX versions. In these cases the data gathered is never as complete. In particular the amoumt of memory reported if often	less  than
       the  real  amount due to memory taken by the operating system (kernel etc). The number of processors the system can support is never avail-
       able.

       Here's the first such non-commercial UNIX from a single processor Sun SPARCstation 20 running NetBSD 1.6.

       e.g. 7 (Sun SPARCstation 20 running NetBSD 1.6)
       Hardware provider:    unknown
       Hardware platform:    unknown
       Machine: 	     sparc
       Sysname: 	     NetBSD

       L1 instruction cache: unknown kb
       L2 cache:	     unknown kb

       Here's data from a Sun SPARCstation 20 running OpenBSD 3.2. The machine has 320 Mb of RAM, not 318 Mb as indicated. The number  of  proces-
       sors  the  system  supports  is reported as unknown, but should the system have been running Solaris 9, as in the example 1 (sparrow), then
       this information would have been determined, but it is not available under OpenBSD - or Solaris 2.5 for that matter.

       e.g. 8 (Sun SPARCstation 20 running OpenBSD 3.2)
       Hardware provider:    unknown
       Hardware platform:    unknown
       Machine: 	     sparc

       The next machine is a Sun SPARCstation 20 running Debian Linux. The version of Debian is unknown, but clearly sysdata is unable	to  deter-
       mine this.

       e.g. 9 (Sun SPARCstation 20 running Debian Linux)

       Hardware provider:    unknown
       Hardware platform:    unknown

       L1 data cache	     unknown kb
       L1 instruction cache: unknown kb
       L2 cache:	     unknown kb

       Here's  data from a Sun SPARCstation 20 running Solaris 2.5 (SunOS 5.5). The machine probably does have 352 Mb of RAM as reported. The num-
       ber of processors the system supports is reported as unknown, but should the system have been running Solaris 9, as in the example 1 (spar-
       row), then this information would have been determined, but it is not available under Solaris 2.5.

       e.g. 10 (Sun SPARCstation 20 Solaris 2.5)
       Hardware provider:    Sun_Microsystems
       Hardware platform:    SUNW,SPARCstation-20
       Machine: 	     sun4m
       Sysname: 	     SunOS
       Release: 	     5.5

       Here's a standard PC, fitted with one processor

       e.g. 11 (350 MHz Pentium II PC running Redhat Linux)
       Hardware provider:    unknown
       Hardware platform:    unknown
