I'm installing HARP 2.1 on FreeBSD 2.2.7 to work with a Fore PCA-200E adapter.

The install notes (doc/Install.FreeBSD_2) mention:

    NOTE: You MUST have version 4.0.2 (1.20) for OS/2 of the FORE microcode - 
        other versions will not work with the HARP driver.  

I only have a newer version.  So I used this instead.

When I try to send data, I get output-errors (namely the counter in the 
'atm-show stats vcc'-command increases)

I also have an all-zero mac address:
        Intf      Vendor    Model     Media           Bus   Serial No
hfa0      Fore      PCA-200E  OC-3c           PCI   0
    MAC address = 00:00:00:00:00:00
    Hardware version = 
    Firmware version = 4.1.12


1. Can I assume that the errors are due to the newer version of the microcode ?

2. If yes, how can I obtain the old version of the microcode ?
(apart from the url mentioned in the install notes,  ftp.fore.com/forethought... 
for which I don't have a password)


Thanks a lot,

Wim Livens.
