Q131351
data integrity problems with L-S card FRU 92F8941
A data integrity problem was identified with the first
release of the Lan Streamer card. Hooks were added to the Lan Streamer
driver to minimize the problem. This event log message is logged for the
benefit of IBM development to identify that the adapter has the data
integrity problem.
The affected Lan Streamers are 92F8941. The BIOS chips and U16
are different from the later 74G0098.

Not Seen under NT 4.0
>Fighting with the Lanstreamer32 under NT. I'm going back in with the
latest drivers. I have it at SP2 now.
Lalali lalala .. its a "no go" unless you have SP3 or the
revised NDIS.SYS (122.224 bytes) from Micro$haft. There is a document from
IBM - RMIE-3ACDGC "Servers - Streamers not working under Windows NT v4.0",
which references Q156324
"MCAFINDBUS fails to enumerate net cards / Device Manager Message with
MCA Network Adapter" (NT looked at MCA slots starting with 0, not 1)
Non-MCA buses are not affected by this problem. The following
MCA network adapters are known to be affected: 3Com 3C527 Etherlink MC/32,
IBM Streamer adapters, Cabletron F30xx FDDI, NCR Starlan TR, NCR Wavelan
and SysKonnect FDDI
The M$ Knowlegde Base has the Articles Q157815
"Service Control Manager Event 7003 and 7024 (2105)" / Netbios Interface
missing (install or bind Netbios),
The Ndis.sys device driver in Service Pack 2 fails to detect
any network cards installed in MCA slots 8 or higher. Network cards installed
in slots 1 through 7 are detected by Windows NT and function normally.
Failure to Obtain IP Address Via DHCP on Token
Ring w/ SP2 Q163383
When you run Windows NT version 4.0, with Service Pack
2 applied, in a source routed Token Ring environment and configured as
a DHCP client, you may receive the following message when you start:
The DHCP client could not obtain an IP address. If you want to see
DHCP messages in the future, choose YES, otherwise choose NO.
Fix Change the ArpAlwaysSourceRoute
value to 1. If this value is not present, click on Edit, Add Value, and
enter the following settings: Value Type: REG_DWORD - Boolean Valid Range:
0,1 (False or True) Default: 0 (False)
Slot
8 Incompatability in 8595 and 9595
A 00017100 (171) error occurs on POST (Power-On System Test). This
problem may occur on 8595/9595 models xLx or xHx systems during the installation
of any of the following adapters in micro channel slot 8:
- IBM LANStreamer MC 32 / 16
- IBM EtherStreamer MC 32
- IBM Auto / Dual LANStreamer MC 32
- IBM Dual EtherStreamer MC 32
Fix (Pretty wild, eh?)
Do not install any of the affected adapters in slot 8. Relocate any
of the affected adapters to one of the other microchannel slots.

MC 32 Adapter
Adapter Data Rate
This adapter can operate at either 4 Mbps or 16 Mbps.
The adapter data rate MUST be set to the rate of the Token-Ring LAN segment
to which the adapter is connected.
<"16 Mbps">, 4 Mbps
Adapter Media Type Selection
This adapter supports two media types, STP and UTP.
The media type selected MUST be cable connected to the token ring. If not
the adapter will exhibit a LOBE MEDIA FAILURE.
<"STP">, UTP
Adapter I/O address Range
The I/O address field is a six bit field that selects
the I/O address of the adapter. For MC I/O cycles, this dapter is selected
when the MC I/O address is within a 256 byte region. For systems with more
than one LS32, each must be assigned a separate I/O address range.
<"1C00-1CFF (io 1C00-1CFF)>,
2000-20FF, 2400-24FF, 2800-28FF, 2C00-2CFF, 3000-30FF, 3400-34FF, 3800-38FF,

5800-58FF, 5C00-5CFF, 6000-60FF, FC00-FCFF
Interrupt Level
This adapter can use interrupt level: 2, 3, 10 or
11. IRQ3 is prefered.
<"Interrupt 3">, 2, 10,
11
Fairness/Streaming Data Select
This adapter can operate with or w/o arbitration fairness
and with or w/o Data Streaming.
<"Fairness ON/Streaming ON">,
Fairness ON/Streaming OFF, Fairness OFF/Streaming ON, Fairness OFF/Streaming
OFF
Arbitration Level
This adapter can operate on one of thirteen arbitration
levels: 1, 2, 3 or 5 thru E. If more than one LS32 is in your computer,
each must be assigned a separate arbitration level.
<"Level 1">, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,
7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E
Remote Program Load Address Range
The adapter Remote Program Load (RPL) ROM is relocatable
within Micro Channel memory space. The adapter RPL ROM from hex 000C 000
to 000D C000.
<"Disabled" >, C000-C3FF, C400-C7FF,
C800-CBFF, CC00-CFFF, D000-D3FF, D400-D7FF, D800-DBFF, DC00-DFFF
Parity Enable/Monitor Feedback
This adapter provides the capability of generating and
checking data and address parity, plus it can monitor slave device's Selected
Feedback Return Exception signals during DMA operations.
<"Parity OFF/Monitor OFF">,
Parity ON/Monitor OFF, Parity OFF/Monitor ON , Parity ON/Monitor ON
