Installing the eeE8 Driver for UnixWare* 7 
========================================

To install the eeE8 driver for UnixWare 7:
     
1. Copy the eeE8.pkg file into any directory on the 
   UnixWare system, such as in the /tmp directory.
     
2. Make sure no other users are logged on and all user applications
   are closed.
     
3. If there is an older version of either eeE or eeE8 driver on the system, first
   run 'netcfg' and remove any configuration using these drivers. Exit 'netcfg'. 
   Reboot the system using "init 6". 
   
4. Install the new driver using 'pkgadd'. For example:
     
        # pkgadd -d /tmp/eeE8.pkg
     
5. Add and configure the NICs. 

   Refer to SCO UnixWare 7 documentation when installing NICs.  
   To ensure predictable behavior when installing NICs, deconfigure
   all NICs and reboot the system prior to configuring new NICs or
   reconfiguring installed NICs.
 
   +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
   | It is recommended that all NICs be configured with the             |
   | same driver type (i.e. either all eeE (DDI7) or all eeE8 (DDI8).   |
   | System instabilities can result from mixing driver types.          |
   +--------------------------------------------------------------------+

5a.  Hot Plug enabled systems (see Note) require the eeE8 (DDI8) drivers 
     and must only be configured using the Hot Plug utility.
        # scoadmin hot

5b.  Systems not requiring Hot Plug PCI capabilities but wishing to use 
     eeE8 (DDI8) drivers should use netcfg.
	# scoadmin network

5c.  Use only netcfg to configure eeE (DDI7) drivers
        # scoadmin network

6. Reboot the system.
     
NOTE:  If you require Hot Plug PCI capabilities, the DDI 8 eeE8 driver must 
be used. The DDI 8 driver is supported on UnixWare 7.1.0 and later 
versions.  

Hot Plug PCI capabilities also require a Hot Plug Controller driver
and the appropriate Hot Plug PCI ptfs.

For more information about Hot Plug PCI capabilities please 
refer to the SCO UnixWare 7 documentation and to the SCO website
www.sco.com.
