The final stage of the swinstall process will reboot your system with
a new kernel that contains the PQFE driver. The new network
interface names are
'pqfe'
. After the reboot process is complete,
login again as
"root"
and verify that the new interface is present
by using the
'ifconfig'
command:
# ifconfig pqfe0 [ENTER]
Which should return:
pqfe0: flags=822<BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS>

The P430 fast ethernet NIC can operate at either 10Mbps (standard
ethernet) or 100 Mbps (fast ethernet). In either speed mode the inter-
face can be in half-duplex or full-duplex mode. The factory default for
the interface card is auto-negotiation/auto-sense and half-duplex if
auto-negotiation fails.
N O T E :
The P430 supports the NWay Auto-Negotiation which is defined in
ANSI/IEEE standard 802.3u Draft 5. This means that the P430 will
try and auto-negotiate with its link partner. If the link partner does
not support auto-negotiation, the card will automatically auto-sense
the link speed. The P430 can be set to a speed and duplex mode
disabling auto-sensing completely.
