AIX, and adapter device

I did the following:

So AIX can see en2 and en3, not en0 and en1, and it does not have a driver

So I ran the command cfgmgr -i /dev/cd0, it ran, and the command produced the following
output (partial listing)

--------                                                                        
  Filesets listed in this section failed pre-installation verification          
  and will not be installed.

  The following filesets could not be found on the installation media.          
  If you feel these filesets really are on the media, check for typographical   
  errors in the name specified or, if installing from directory, check for      
  discrepancies between the Table of Contents file (.toc) and the images that   
  reside in the directory.

Open in new window

                                                               

So the driver I want is missing from the AIX installation disk

Any ideas on what I should do next ?

Thanks

Just an idea: Maybe your PowerVM DVD will do!

Or perhaps you have a CD labelled "Additional Device Drivers"?
