Farallon Fast Ethernet Nubus PN990a driver

Submitted by merkava on August 2, 2005 - 2:51pm

Hi,
I just got a Farallon Nubus fast ethernet, part number 990a (smc chip, NOT 3com chip).
Installed it in a AWS 9150/120 (upgraded to 280mhz G3). Nubus card is detected, but I have no drivers for it!
I've searched on proxim, but there are no downloads for this particular card.
Does anyone have the drivers for this card??
Thanks!

Go here:

and scroll down to Farallon. There's an FTP link. Maybe it still works.

I couldn't spot it out there anywhere either, so . . .

It's always on my Carracho/Hotline server in the drivers/network,modems/Farallon/ dir and I also put it temporarily here. Hopefully, this is the file you need, I don't think Farallon had too many different fast enet nubus cards.

Err, and I hope nobody minds me posting this, it ain't like Farallon even really exists anymore, much less gives half a hooodaly-dyoot about where their old drivers show up.

EDIT: With an apparent release date of 11 June, 1998, here's what's in it BTW:
Installer Files
-Installer
-Farallon Script
-Network
-enet.Farallon
-EtherTalk Phase 2
Utilities
-CheckNET
-Fast Nubus Config

There're no docs describing which cards it supports.
/EDIT

hth,

Thanks Dan, that's the driver (I'm posting from the AWS 9150).
I was lucky to spot the card (and the Sonnet G3 upgrade) on a pile of pc mobos. Cost for both: $4.50 Smile
