Hello Folks; I was using the rtgnda13.zip and thought I would try the R8110 driver, because rtgnda does not get the mac address. Although the driver, R8110$, appears to load at startup, there is no internet connection and lantran.log reports this:

IBM OS/2 LANMSGDD [05/21/04] 6.00 is loaded and operational. IBM OS/2 LAN Netbind PRO0021: A general failure occurred when the program tried to bind TCPIP_NIF to R8110_NIF. Any ideas?

All other OS/2 NIC drivers have the possibility to set the MAC address to something different of own choice.

This feature is missing from this driver.

Please add it.

It is also missing in e1000e driver.

Output from loading the driver is always helpfull, if it doesn't work correctly - but if it does - no one needs it.

Output to screen during config.sys processing is completely useless, as no one can 'catch' what they need.

GOOD NIC drivers DO:

• Never output to screen (to not break graphic boot logo) (can be forced by a user chosen option (/V)) unless the driver fails to initialize.

• Always output usefull info to LANTRAN.LOG file.

(this might be errors, or 'I loaded OK - resources are xxxx')

This ticket should have been assigned to component 'common' but that does unfortunately not exist (please add :-) )
