Sun FastEthernet PCI Adapter
Product Note
This document contains the late-breaking news and documentation updates for the
Sun™ FastEthernet™ PCI adapter.
Replacing a SunSwift PCI Adapter With
a Sun FastEthernet PCI Adapter in the
Same PCI Slot
Your system will encounter network problems if you replace a SunSwift™ PCI
adapter with a Sun FastEthernet PCI adapter, or if you replace a Sun FastEthernet
PCI adapter with a SunSwift PCI adapter, in the same PCI slot. To avoid these
problems, you must rename the
/etc/hostname.hme
<num> file on your system to
reflect the new adapter’s Ethernet interface. The
/etc/path_to_inst
file will be
updated when you perform a reconfiguration boot on your system after installing
the new PCI adapter.

Note –

adapter’s installation and user’s Guide for instructions on how to install the adapter
and configure the software.
