Selecting fast Ethernet on Personal Workstation?

» close window

The Question is:

 
I am setting up a Digital Personal Workstation au with
OVMS 7.1-1h2, and cannot get the Fast Ethernet Port to
function. It is connected to a 100Mbit hub and shows a green link
light until vms begins to boot. Then, when the driver (?)
is loaded, the link light goes out and the receive light on the
hub flashes until system is powered down. I have installed DecNet
Phase IV and UCX and the UCXeco.
 
Could you give the name of any patches for the
Digital Workstation that might alleviate this problem ????
 
Thanks

The Answer is :

 
  Please see the console command:
 
    set ewa0_mode
 
  ECO kits, when available, can be located via the website:

  OpenVMS Alpha LAN drivers are often accessable via a search for
 
    ALPLAN**
 
  Please make sure you have recent firmware loaded on the system:
