UPDATE: GB Ethernet cards and 4.0F

My original query is below. In the responses recieved so far each asked if
the routes were changed. No they were not, everything on the network stayed
exactly the same, no changes were made. I just thought I'd clarify that
fact. All I did was update to 4.0F and load patch kit 3.

Also "sysconfig -q alt" gave me:

        alt:
        DriverVersion = V1.0.12
        FirmwareVersion = 11.3.2

is that what I should have with patch kit 3?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interesting thing happened, I recently updated a 4100 from 4.0D patch kit 3,
to 4.0F patch kit 3. This system has a FDDI card, a 100MB ethernet card, and
two GB ethernet cards. After the upgrade, the FDDI works, and the 100MB
ethernet works, but both GB ethernet cards do not. They are reported to be
UP in ifconfig, and netstat reports a route for them, but I can't get in or
out of them. Did the update trash the drivers? Will I have to redo the
driver installation? After the trouble I had last time that's not a
attractive prospect.

UNIX is very user friendly, It's just very particular about who it makes
friends with.
