Network interfaces problem
Hi,

I have problems with my SCO unix network interfaces.
Intel integrated adapter was failing, so I installed new one - 3COM adapter into free PCI slot.
Installed driver using SCO Software manager - successfully
Added new Network adapter using SCO Network configuration manager - successfully
after that I checked using ifconfig -a
there was some loopback interfaces and - net0 -intel interface, and net1 -3com interface.
So I thought that everything is OK and removed intel adapter using Network configuration manager, after that things went wrong:
ifconfig -a displays only loopback interfaces.
3com driver is installed, 3com network adapter is added(Network configuration manager), but ifconfig -a don't display it!!!

So I thought that it's hardware problem - booted knoppix from cd - my 3com adapter is autodetected, up and running!

After that I tried all 'dumb' ways - rebooted, reinstalled(driver), changed apapter pci slot...- result is the same -driver - OK, adapter(Network configuration manager) - OK, "ifconfig -a" - no entries. By the way devices net0 and net1 are present(I asume net1 is my 3com adapter).

I'm newbe in unix so maybe I missing some 'obvious' step ?
How to force my 3com adapter(net1 ?) to apear in ifconfig list, and force it function corectlly ?

thank you
Vilius

cp

CP(4)							 BSD/i386 Kernel Interfaces Manual						     CP(4)

NAME

     cp -- driver for synchronous Cronyx Tau-PCI WAN adapters

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:

	   device cp

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

	   if_cp_load="YES"

     Additional options:
     device sppp
     options NETGRAPH
     options NETGRAPH_CRONYX

DESCRIPTION

     The cp driver needs either sppp(4) or netgraph(4).  Which one to use is determined by the NETGRAPH_CRONYX option.	If this option is present
     in your kernel configuration file, the cp driver will be compiled with netgraph(4) support.  Otherwise, it will be compiled with sppp(4) sup-
     port.

     Refer to sconfig(8) for information about the cp adapter configuration.

HARDWARE

     The cp driver supports the following models of Tau-PCI WAN adapters:

     Cronyx Tau-PCI	   V.35 and RS-232 interfaces
     Cronyx Tau-PCI/R	   RS-530(RS-449) and X.21 interfaces
     Cronyx Tau-PCI-L	   one V.35 and RS-232 interface, low profile
     Cronyx Tau-PCI-L/R    one RS-530(RS-449) and X.21 interface, low profile
     Cronyx Tau-PCI-E1	   fractional E1 interfaces
     Cronyx Tau-PCI-G703   unframed E1 interfaces
     Cronyx Tau-PCI-2E1    fractional E1 and unframed E1 interfaces
     Cronyx Tau-PCI-4E1    fractional E1 and unframed E1 interfaces
     Cronyx Tau-PCI-E3	   E3 interface
     Cronyx Tau-PCI-T3	   T3 interface
     Cronyx Tau-PCI-STS1   STS-1 interface

HISTORY

     The cp driver was added in FreeBSD 5.3 and FreeBSD 4.11.  The cp driver for previous versions of FreeBSD is available from
     http://www.cronyx.ru/.
