Hi there! As discussed here some time ago, I needed a third routed interface for my 2821 and today I got this cute HWIC-1FE. Installed it, booted (12.4(16)) and got a "GT96K_FEWAN-1-UNKNOWN_WIC: NM slot 0, wic card has an unknown id 53A". The module was no longer cute to me and I googled some time till I found this post in the Cisco forums:
[quote] I'll answer my own question here: I didn't receive any feedback from the community that directly helped me solve my issue. And I don't have any kind of support from Cisco for this device. So after searching everywhere without luck for a solution (message boards, lists, web etc etc), I used the brute-force method. I tried about 10 different versions of IOS until I found one that worked. I don't know why this older version worked, but it did. Version 12.4(11)XJ So if you have a 2811 and you need to get an HWIC-1FE card working, use that IOS. show diag now shows it recognized: WIC Slot 2: 1 Port FE HWIC Hardware Revision : 2.0 [/quote] I haven't tried it yet, but is DOWNGRADING really the only way to get this module to work?? Thanks and have a nice day, Bernd _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
