Hello,

I'm tasked with the installation and configuration of a Fore PCA200e NIC
on a PC (Compaq P-III 450), but it doesn't seem to be working as it
should (in fact, it does not work at all).

As indicated in /usr/share/examples/atm, I've downloaded two versions of
the microcode from fore's web site (one OS2 version and an NT version).

% cd /etc
% ll pca*
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  33992 Aug  3 14:13 pca200e.bin
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  33992 Aug  3 13:32 pca200e_Os2.bin
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  35768 Aug  3 13:32 pca200e_pca2e_12.bin
%

I start atm at boot, via /etc/rc.atm , which I've patched to give
verbose comments :

    # Load microcode into FORE adapters (if needed)
    if [ `expr "${atmdev}" : '.*hfa.*'` -ne 0 ]; then
        echo "${atmdev}"
        echo "Download fore microcode"
        /sbin/fore_dnld -v -i hfa0 -f /etc/pca200e.bin
    fi
   
The fore_download loads some code in the PCA adapter, and then launches
the execution with a "go <address>", but nothing happens (and I doubt
the 960 executes some code, as the ATM switch keeps the LED off for this
ATM port).

So : if there are users of the PCA200e on FreeBSD 3.2-R, could you
please tell me what your config is.

	Thanks in advance

	TfH
