IEther-00 (Gigabit Ethernet Networking Driver Bundle)

The IEther-00 bundle delivers the iether driver which supports selected Gigabit Networking Cards.

In December 2007, HP-UX 11i v2 updates the IEther-00 bundle to:

support Accelerated Virtual I/O (AVIO) to significantly improve HP Integrity Virtual Machines (HPVM) I/O performance.
support PCIe 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet Mezzanine Card (product #: 447883-B21) on HP Integrity BladeSystem c3000 and c7000 enclosures and BL870c Server Blade.
The support for this card is already pre-enabled in September 2007 Operating Environments Update Release (OEUR), but this hardware enablement release adds boot support and Virtual Connect support.

The AVIO lan driver will support the following Ethernet drivers: ixgbe (10GbE), igelan (1GbE), and iether (1GbE).

For information about Accelerated Virtual I/O (AVIO), see “Accelerated Virtual I/O”.

The AVIO lan driver will support the following Ethernet drivers: ixgbe (10GbE), igelan (1GbE), and iether (1GbE).
