TECHNICAL INFORMATION DOCUMENT TITLE: enpcic - PCMCIA Enabler for Intel PCIC DOCUMENT ID: TID300082 DOCUMENT REVISION: B DATE: 25JAN95 ALERT STATUS: Yellow INFORMATION TYPE: Symptom Solution README FOR: ENPCIC PRODUCT and VERSION: UnixWare 1.1 ABSTRACT: The enpcic.dd.Z file contains enpcic - PCMCIA Enabler for Intel PCIC (BETA). The driver is in HBA format. This driver is for the Intel PCIC PCMCIA interface chip. The PCIC chip works basically as a hardware mapping device to map a particular PCMCIA card to its appropriate hardware resources such as I/O addresses, memory addresses, DMA channels, and interrupts. This configuration is controlled through the drivers space.c file. Note: This supplement is NOT SUPPORTED. It is provided "AS-IS" to knowledgeable users as a courtesy. SYMPTOM PCMCIA Enabler needed for UnixWare 1.1 SOLUTION Create an HBA diskette using the compressed tar file in this package. Insert it when prompted for the HBA diskette during installation Installation Instructions: DATATYPE: compressedimage 1. Download the enpcic.txt and enpcic.dd.Z files to the /tmp directory on your machine. To create a diskette from an IHV HBA disk image file included in this PTF, become superuser and format a 3.5 inch 1.44MB diskette using: $ su provide root password at Password: prompt place a 3.5 inch high density disk in the floppy drive # format -v /dev/rdsk/f03ht ( f13ht if it's the b: drive ) Uncompress the file: # uncompress /tmp/enpcic.dd.Z Now dd the image onto the disk using: # dd if=/tmp/enpcic.dd of=/dev/dsk/f03ht bs=1024k note path to dd image may be different use f13ht of it's the b: drive Solution Specifics What this driver is: This driver is for the Intel PCIC PCMCIA interface chip. The PCIC chip works basically as a hardware mapping device to map a particular PCMCIA card to its appropriate hardware resources such as I/O addresses, memory addresses, DMA channels, and interrupts. This configuration is controlled through the drivers space.c file. The initial configuration is setup for the Socket brand NE2000 PCMCIA card in slot 1 and a Modem card in slot 0. This can be changed by editing the space.c file. If you do not have experience with this, things may be difficult. What this driver is NOT: This driver does not handle any specific network or modem cards. If you have a particular card you want supported, the base UnixWare system must have a driver, or YOU must have one. The Socket brand NE2000 card obviously uses the built in UnixWare NE2000 driver. Modem cards just appear as serial chips. To use a card such as a Xircom network card you will need to get a driver.
