RE: support for fore pca-200e card

[Bryan W. <bry...@ma...>]

Hi,
The PCA nic does not come in an OC-12c format. Most likely you have an
HE622 from Marconi/FORE (are there any other OC12 nics out there today?).

You need to patch the kernel with the source from here:
ftp://ftp.cmf.nrl.navy.mil/pub/chas/linux-atm/

Make sure you then build the kernel with the HE driver added and it
should work.

Bryan.
