I just got an RT Ethernet Adapter, and I believe I've got all the 
software configured properly (including etc/hosts, etc/net (AIX 2.2.1)
entries, including 1500 length packets).  Since the UB card has only the
thick-type connection, I tried connecting it with an HP ThinMAU,
but neither the net nor the RT seem happy with this arrangement -
the TCPIP startup gives me "009-005 Physical link control experienced an
unusual network condition", and meanwhile, the network is going crazy
with "ie0: packet received with XXX bit cleared" appearing on Suns.
This occurs even with the RT powered down (but all cabling connected).

Question:  Should this work?  Should I suspect a bad part (the thinMAU?)
or is this hopeless, and I should go dig up an IBM (logo) adapter box?

Thanks---

John
