Just wanted to let people know that IBM has Linux drivers available for download as source under the GPL. The problem is that these drivers are mainly meant for IBM Director which is a client/server management tool where you have a 'thin' client on the machine and a Director Server somewhere else to manage them. For ASMP systems there is a commandline interface to the driver, but ISMP systems are out of luck in this regard. Still as the sourcecode is provided, if anyone wants to have a look at it, or make the ISMP work without Director.... For so called ISMP systems (x335, x345 and other recent IBM servers, but not those with RSA adapters) ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pccbbs/pc_servers/ibmdirectorsmbredhatlinux.zip ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pccbbs/pc_servers/ibmdirectorsmbsuselinux.zip These are ZIP files containing a bizarre binary 'source' RPM which you can unpack (to get to the source) using rpm2cpio ibmsmb-src-redhat-4.10-1.i386.rpm |cpio -ivd It contains: binsetup i2cich.h i2cpiix4.c i2cvia.h ibmsmb-src.spec pci.h dump.h i2cio.c i2cpiix4.h ibmsmb.h ibmsmbstart README.TXT i2cali.c i2cio.h i2csis.c ibmsmb.initscript ibmsmbstop setup i2cali.h i2cos.c i2csis.h ibmsmbremove Makefile smbmain.c i2cich.c i2cos.h i2cvia.c ibmsmb.spec pci.c sysdep.h ibmsmblib: dump.h ibmi2clib.c ibmsmb.h ibmsmblib.c In addition for older (ASMP) systems (e.g x330, x340 and systems with RSA adapters) ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pccbbs/pc_servers/ibmasm-src-redhat-wrp131a.rpm ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pccbbs/pc_servers/ibmasm-src-suse-wrp131a.rpm again to unpack (to get to the source) rpm2cpio ibmasm-src-redhat-wrp131a.rpm |cpio -ivd It contains: binsetup ibmasm.spec ibmspremove README.TXT setup ibmasm.initscript ibmspdown ibmspup remove exe: ibmasm ibmasm.h ibmsphalt.c ibmsprem.c ibmsptxt.c ibmasm.c ibmspgui.c ibmsprem2.c ibmsprem.h shlib: libsysSp.so uwiapi.c src: ddinst.h serial.c sysdrv.h uwscmd.c uwsisa.c uwsutil.c ibmasmincludes.h serpci.c sysplx.h uwscmd.h uwspci.c Makefile slim.c sysscout.h uwsConfg.c uwsqueue.c serial22.c slim.h uwioctl.h uwsevent.c uwsrem.c serial24.c sysapi.h uwsasr.c uwsioctl.c uwsrem.h Lastly for ASMP systems there is mpcli which is a JAVA based command line interface to either the ASMP device driver (in-band) or ASMA/RSA adapter (out-of-band). ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pccbbs/pc_servers/mpcli-2.0-1.0.i386.rpm ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pccbbs/pc_servers/mpcli-d3barmst.pdf Note: the above links will probably break when new versions are released and the old once removed.
