RE: CR: Re: FORE PCA200E under Solaris 8 ?

I'm using driver version 5.2.0.6 patch 56344 with Solaris 8 on a couple
Sparc 20's.  LANE seems to work fine but ForeIP doesn't work.  Keeps
insisting that /dev/fa0 does not exist, even though everything appears to be
setup correctly.

I haven't spent much time trying to fix this problem, since we are moving
away
from ForeIP and planning on using LANE for all our IP over ATM needs.

I called FORE/Marconi about this. They said they had user reports that 
SBA-200E worked fine using latest drivers under sol8. Of course it is 
totally unsupported...

I haven't had time to confirm this yet. Can anyone out in cell-relay 
land confirm a working system?
