Drivers with other naming conventions
For PCI cards, the following adapters do not have drivers following the naming
conventions:
PCI Digital Trunk Quad Adapter #6309 (6-B)
Eicon ISDN DIVA Pro 2.0 S/T 2708 #2708 (9-N) (driver on diskette, not
supported on AIX 5L)
IBM Short-wave Serial HIPPI PCI Adapter (#2732, only 32-bit mode on AIX
5L)
IBM Long-wave Serial HIPPI PCI Adapter (#2733, only 32-bit mode on AIX
5L)
The following are MCA adapters:
X.21 Communications Controller #2938 (9-2) seperate LPP sx25.*.
EIA-232E Communications Controller #2929 (9-3) seperate LPP sx25.*.
SAMI SP Attach Clustered Server Control Panel to CWS #3154 (6-K) is
included in the server base microcode.
List of common devices
