During my QNX reboot, I see “Net.ether1000:
INITIALIZATION ERROR 10” and the network is not found. This
happens when we boot up with a home-brew card on the
ISA bus, but does not happen when we take the card out.
We are debugging this home-brew card, and if we had an idea
what this error message means, then we’d have some clue what
we’re doing wrong. I should point out that with our card
in, this is the only snag we see; the boot completes
(without the network), and our card behaves as intended when
we access it from our software.

Run netinfo -a | more. This will pipe you thru all initialization error
codes. On Net.ether1000, Init error 10 means ‘_1000_locate_failed(I think
its saying that it cannot find the chipset that you told it to): run
Net.ether1000 -v to display why’

I’d bet that you have an interrupt conflict.
Just a guess.

Do you have an NE1000 card in the machine? If so, when you
run the driver do you give it a specific ioport and irq, or
do you let it autolocate? If you let it autolocate, your
additional card may be at an io-port that it is scanning,
and respond to the queries, but not correctly.
Or, your card may be at an io-port or irq that conflicts
with that of the NE1000 card you have in the system.
If you don’t explicitly specify ioport & irq to the Net.ether1000
driver, try doing that. If you do, and you still get this error
with your home-brew card, then you likely have a conflict on ioport
or irq (could be caused by address line problems too).

I recently had a similar problem with an Accton NIC that I use
the Net.ether1000 driver for. I received your error 10 and an error 4.
My solution was to change the BIOS setting for the associated IRQ from
PNP to Legacy ISA. Maybe some change like this is required by you too?
