The drivers are distributed in source RPM format and are available in the HP SoftPaq file in the \Linux directory. See "Downloading files (on page 9)" for information. The source RPM is suitable for use on any system that has the RPM utility installed and a properly configured kernel source tree.

In addition, the Linux (open source) drivers can be found at the HP software and drivers website (http://h18000.www1.hp.com/support/files/index.html).

HP ROMPaqs for specific servers can be found at the HP support website (http://www.hp.com/support).

Adapter support on NetWare

A network device driver must be installed before the Gigabit Ethernet adapter can be used with your Novell NetWare system. Before you can successfully install the adapter driver for Novell NetWare, the adapter card must be physically installed in the server and, typically, NetWare OS software must already be running on the server. Make sure that your server meets the hardware and operating system software requirements.

For an adapter installation with an existing NetWare server, NetWare will automatically detect the new adapter and attempt to load the appropriate driver.

To enable the Gigabit Ethernet adapter to function correctly, you need to install the latest support pack files. The latest support pack can be found at the Novell website (http://www.novell.com).

Netware install program

A commonly used method to install a driver on a NetWare server is through NWCONFIG. The following drivers are supported.
