Figure 40. SMIT Configuration Menu for Adding an ISA Ethernet Adapter
This configuration menu also provides the capability to select the Define
device only, do not configure option to have the adapter defined but not
configured. Change this field value to yes. It will allow you to define the
adapter without configuring it. If any parameter conflicts were detected, an error
message similar to the following is displayed:
ent1 Defined
lsresource : The attribute(s) for some device(s) in the system
could not be resolved.
To resolve conflicts, attribute(s) need to be
modified. A suggested value for each attribute is provided.
DEVICE ATTRIBUTE CURRENT SUGGESTED DESCRIPTION
--------------- --------------- --------- --------- -----------
ent1
bus_intr_lvl 11 5 Bus Interrupt Level
ent1 bus_mem_addr xc xc4 Bus Memory Address
ent1 bus_io_addr x3 x32 Bus I/O Address
ent1 Deleted
Change the parameter value as suggested by the lsresource command, and
press Enter.
Note: Instead of using the SMIT menu, you may use the following command
to select the previously set and tested parameters:
mkdev -c adapter -s isa -t ethernet -a bus_intr_lvl=IRQ \
-a bus_io_addr=IO -a bus_mem_addr=MEM \
-a media_type=TYPE -p bus1
where:
IRQ is the interrupt level
