    >>Do drivers for UNIXware exist for the EISA/PCI FDDI controllers???
    
    SCO UnixWare 2.1 contains transmogrified DEFEA.LAN and DEFPA.LAN
    drivers that should work properly with our EISA and PCI FDDI
    controllers.  I'm emphasizing "should" because Novell's UnixWare team
    did the integration and testing work and we don't have hands-on
    experience here running either driver in that configuration.
    
    With v2.1, UnixWare supports the standard NetWare ODI Server driver
    binaries after a "transmogrifying" process which converts the files
    from NetWare Loadable Module (NLM) format to ELF format which is
    compatible with UnixWare.
    
    In theory, all of our .LAN drivers should support this new version of
    UnixWare, but only now that the product is released are we getting
    experience with it.

I also have an unsupported DLPI/streams driver for the DEFPA/DEFEA available
for UnixWare 2.0.
