If you don't already about this card it's an Efficient Networks ENI OEM card, so it should be compatible, and luckily for me it IS! :) Since 3.0 has HARP built in it's just a matter of building in the correct kernel mods, which is as simple as cutting'n pasting the lines out of LINT. Once you've done that, reboot with the card installed (obviously) and you SHOULD notice something like: /kernel: hea0: <Efficient ENI ATM Adapter> rev 0x00 int a ir q 9 on pci0.10.0 You're half way there if you do! Next, it's a matter of getting the card configured, which wasn't quite as straight forward as it seemed. But with a little playing around and some hair pulling I was able to figure it out.. Since I couldn't find this info anywhere I figured I'll post it here since SOMEONE might need it at some point.. atm set netif hea0 ni 1 This line sets up the physical device with 1 logical ATM interface. Since I'll be using PVC only I'm limited to 1 device. Check your work by doing a 'atm show interface' you should see 'ni0' under 'Network interfaces' atm attach hea0 sigpvc Next want to tell it what signaling manager we want to assign to the device. Here we're telling it to use a PVC only mode, your choices here are sigpvc,spans,uni3,uni31. Again check by doing atm show interface, you now should see SIGPVC and ACTIVE. ifconfig ni0 inet 10.10.10.2 Now we need to bring up the logical interface with an IP. Do ifconfig -a to see if it's there, can you ping it ? Cool! Good job, you're really close now! atm add pvc hea0 0 33 aal5 snap ip ni0 10.10.10.1 Finally we get to build the PVC.. We're telling it to make a PVC from the physical device (hea0) on VP-0 VC-33 aal5/snap encapsulation IP owned (CLIP) to device 10.10.10.1 (Terminating interface on my router). That's it! do a 'atm show vcc' you should see: >atm show vcc Interface VPI VCI AAL Type Dir State Encaps Owner hea0 0 33 AAL5 PVC InOut ACTIVE LLC/SNAP IP Notice how the PVC is BIdirectional, I didn't get it at first since most of the time they're UNI... Now, can you ping the other side ??? Yes/No ? do a 'atm show stats interface hea0 atm' Do you see cells coming in/out ? Good deal! Glad it's working for you! Anyway, I hope this little tutorial was helpful for a few people, it took a little while to get everything in place and working. The box is connected to a Fore Systems LE155 and can push the data, NO problem. If you have a line on these cards snatch them up, they usually go for a few hundred bucks and seem to be WELL worth it..
