1.3 Limitations:
1.4 Enhancements:
- IMPORTANT: Make sure the current IMM2 firmware level is 1.50 or later
before you update the uEFI firmware or DSA Preboot firmware.
The recommended firmware update sequence is IMM2 followed by uEFI
followed by DSA Preboot.
- IMPORTANT: When updating through CMM or AMM , after the IMM2 update is
complete, wait at least fifteen minutes before you initiate any
planned uEFI or DSA Preboot firmware updates.
- Updating the uEFI firmware using the IMM2 ethernet over USB interface
requires operating system drivers and configuration for the USB
interface.
d). The New Hardware Wizard should start automatically. When it asks
"Can Windows connect to Windows Update to search for software?"
select "No, not this time". Then click Next to continue.
e). When it asks "What do you want the wizard to do?" select
"Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)". Then
click Next to continue.
h). When the dialog comes up, displaying "Completing the Found New
Hardware Wizard". Click Finish.
i). A new Local Area Connection should come up. (for example Local
Area Connection 4) and may state "This connection has limited or
no connectivity." You can ignore this message.
j). Go back to the Device Manager. "IBM USB Remote NDIS Network
Device" should now show up under "Network Adapters".
k). Open a command prompt and type "ipconfig". You should see the
"Local Area Connection" for the IBM USB RNDIS and it should have
an IP address in the range 169.254.xxx.xxx.
n). Select the radio button labeled "Use the following IP address".
In the IP address field put an address in the range
169.254.95.xxx with a Subnet mask of 255.255.0.0.
The recommended value for this step is 169.254.95.119.
o). Click the advanced button in the lower corner of the window.
Under the "IP Settings" tab click the "Add..." tab in the
"IP addresses" frame.
If the drivers have not been installed (such as the case with
RHEL4), use "modprobe" to install them. To do this, open terminal
and type:
modprobe usbnet
To discover the name that the operating system has assigned to the
IMM2's USB network interface, type
dmesg | grep -i cdc_ether
