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.
