We just have the opportunity to test AIX version 1.1 on a IBM PS/2 Model
80 and have some problems with the ethernet connection.
We learned from IBM that they only support an ethernet adapter from
Ungermann-Bass, in the machine however we have one from 3COM
(Etherlink/MC or 3C523), because it otherwise belongs to a local
PC-Net with 3COM net software.
Does anybody know if it is possible to get an ethernet driver for AIX
either from 3COM direct or from some other source?
I know that it would be best to ask 3COM themselves, but I have also
difficulties to find a technical support person from that company over
here in Germany.
