Hello,

Has anyone actually downloaded the device drivers for the 6228 Gigabyte ether card forAIX 4.3.3 from IBM?
We are hooking up a p680 to an ESS 2105 system and cannot find the actual device drivers for the 6228 card. We are installing AIX 4.3.3. The P680 came pre-installed with 5.1 and the 6228 device drivers are on the 5.1 cdrom drive, but no tloaded on the machine.
The IBM website does not list a URL to actually download device drivers for the 6228 cards. (They do for the 6227 card, though).

To sum this up:
1)Anyone have a 6228 device driver URL?
2) or would the device driver on the 5.1 disk be "backward" compatible with AIX 4.3.3?

BTW, we are waiting for IBM online phone support to give us any info that would be helpful.

Thanks all!!

Chris:)
 
Just a quick FYI: I found this info after mounting cdroms once again and looking for the df100009f driver. It was found under the AIX 4.3.3 Additional Device Software cdrom, which was buried in the box it came with.
Sorry for the posting, I should have looked a little harder. At least IBM didn't know it either! ;)

Thanks again

Chris
