Enhancements/Fixes: - Resolves the issue where the adapter did not work when a cable was disconnected and reconnected. Modified link detection code in driver. HOW TO USE: 1. This machine must be a Windows or DOS based OS for steps 1 - 4. Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive and change to that directory. The file that is downloaded is an self-extracting executable with a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above. 2. From that drive and directory, execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions. Enter "Y" to confirm the unpacking of files into the downloaded directory. 3. After the files have been unpacked, you may delete the SoftPaq file downloaded in step 1. 4. There will be a QRST5.EXE file in the directory. Execute QRST5.EXE and follow the directions to make a diskette to be used for adding the package to the server. The diskette must be a DOS formated disk. 5. Log into the server where the driver is going to be replaced as "root". 6. Use "netcfg" to remove any existing instances of the Netelligent NetFlex-3 adapter. 7. Remove any existing package that exist by typing in "pkgrm ptfcnet" at a unix prompt. 8. Use the "pkgadd -d diskette1" command on the server to perform the installation using the diskette that was created. 9. Use "netcfg" to add in and configure your network adapters. 10. After the update or installation is complete, link the kernel and restart the server. NOTE: Refer to the unix manual or man pages for information on "netcfg", "pkgrm", and/or "pkgadd".
