Re: [foxboro] Allied Telesys Fiber NIC's, miniport, and REDL

I would only add to the procedure below..
When you mouse over the NIC to gets it's MAC...the slot # is also key.
Lowest slot # dictates MAC_IA entry.

If the MACS get mixed up for MAC_ALT and MAC_IA box won't connect to
Mesh.
So slot location is key to MAC entries.

Tom,

The NICS are MAC based .
If you restore a image to a similar PCODE machine...you can either move
the NICS and do nothing else or keep the NICS in the new machine and do
a registry edit...

There is a KPKA (Known Problems Known Answers) written on the
procedure..
