    Thanks to those who responded especially John Lanier at HP.

    As it turns out, (quoted from John's e-mail) "Adapter is not recognized
    from SRM on Alphas

    SRM does not understand the DEGPA, it will not show up. It will however ID
    a device
    in that slot but will not label it, therefore it does not support a network
    boot.

    For UNIX: Only ONE DEGPA-SA per PCI bus allowed during driver
    installation.
    After driver installation, additional adapters may be added to the same PCI
    bus."

    Upon installation of Tru64 Unix and booting, I got lights flashing on the
    DEGPA.

    Thanks again,
    Joshua

    Hi

    I am building a server and I need help trying to get a degpa-sa (pci to
    gigabit ethernet) to work on an AS4100. The problem seems to be that the
    server doesn't recognize the adapter.
    What I mean by that is that there is no link light on the card.

    I have read that the degpa-sa IS supported in an AS4100 system
    http://www.partner.compaq.com:9003/priority/techline/990209123413.html

    I have also read that if the adapter is not recognized in a PCI/EISA system
    I should run the EISA Configuration Utility (ECU) to enable the PCI slot,
    but when I run ECU I'm asked to insert a floppy containing the CFG file for
    the adapter. Where do I get a CFG file?
    http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/digital_networks_archive/nics/drivers/gbe-release.html

    There is no OS installed yet, and at the SRM console, when I run SHOW
    DEVICE, all I see is:

    dka500.5.0.1.1
    kgpsaa0.0.0.4.1
    dva0.0.0.1000.0
    kgpsab0.0.0.3.0

    Is there something special that I need to do to get this to work? My
    adapter did not come with a CD and I have already upgraded the srmflash to
    V6.0-4 Thanks for your help.

    Joshua
