=======================
|

3. General Information
|
||||
======================
|
||||
|
||||
From v2.01 on, the driver is integrated in the linux kernel sources.
|
||||
Therefore, the installation is the same as for any other adapter
|
||||
supported by the kernel.
|
||||
|
||||
Refer to the manual of your distribution about the installation
|
||||
of network adapters.

(4) TROUBLESHOOTING
|
||||
===================
|
||||
4. Troubleshooting
|
||||
==================
|
||||
|
||||
If you run into problems during installation, check those items:
|
||||
|
||||
Problem: The FDDI adapter cannot be found by the driver.
|
||||
Reason: Look in /proc/pci for the following entry:
|
||||
'FDDI network controller: SysKonnect SK-FDDI-PCI ...'
|
||||
Problem:
|
||||
The FDDI adapter cannot be found by the driver.
|
||||
|
||||
Reason:
|
||||
Look in /proc/pci for the following entry:
|
||||
|
||||
'FDDI network controller: SysKonnect SK-FDDI-PCI ...'
|
||||
|
||||
If this entry exists, then the FDDI adapter has been
|
||||
found by the system and should be able to be used.
|
||||
|
||||
If this entry does not exist or if the file '/proc/pci'
|
||||
is not there, then you may have a hardware problem or PCI
|
||||
support may not be enabled in your kernel.
|
||||
|
||||
The adapter can be checked using the diagnostic program
|
||||
which is available from the SysKonnect web site:
|
||||
|
||||
www.syskonnect.de
|
||||
|
||||
Some COMPAQ machines have a problem with PCI under
|
||||
Linux. This is described in the 'PCI howto' document
|
||||
(included in some distributions or available from the
|
||||
www, e.g. at 'www.linux.org') and no workaround is available.
|
||||
|
||||
Problem: You want to use your computer as a router between
|
||||
multiple IP subnetworks (using multiple adapters), but
|
||||
Problem:
|
||||
You want to use your computer as a router between
|
||||
multiple IP subnetworks (using multiple adapters), but
|
||||
you cannot reach computers in other subnetworks.
|
||||
Reason: Either the router's kernel is not configured for IP
|
||||
|
||||
Reason:
|
||||
Either the router's kernel is not configured for IP
|
||||
forwarding or there is a problem with the routing table
|
||||
and gateway configuration in at least one of the
|
||||
computers.

5. Function of the Adapter LEDs
|
||||
===============================
|
||||
|
||||
The functionality of the LED's on the FDDI network adapters was
|
||||
changed in SMT version v2.82. With this new SMT version, the yellow
|
||||
LED works as a ring operational indicator. An active yellow LED
|
||||
indicates that the ring is down. The green LED on the adapter now
|
||||
works as a link indicator where an active GREEN LED indicates that
|
||||
the respective port has a physical connection.
|
||||
|
||||
With versions of SMT prior to v2.82 a ring up was indicated if the
|
||||
yellow LED was off while the green LED(s) showed the connection
|
||||
status of the adapter. During a ring down the green LED was off and
|
||||
the yellow LED was on.
|
||||
|
||||
All implementations indicate that a driver is not loaded if
|
||||
all LEDs are off.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
