Hello,
I have bought the Netgear MA401 PCMCIA card which is listed at the supported hardware, because the network card inside my laptop isn’t supported by QNX.
Now I try to get them running at QNX6.2.1B.
For the first tests I switched off the WEP encryption.
Here is the output of “pin”:
Sock Func Type Flags PID Base Size IRQ
1 0 Network C—I-±–X----- 81933 0x300 64 7
1 Empty ----MF---------- None
2 Empty ----MF---------- None
2 Empty ----MF---------- None
Here is the output of “pin cis”:

Then I used the following commands:
slay io-net
io-net -d prism mode=bss,station=qnx,verbose -p tcpip -v
ifconfig en0 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
route flush
route add 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.200
From the prism driver I got the following output:
PRISM (prism)
Vendor … 0x0
Device … 0x0
Revision … 0x0
I/O port base … 0x300
Interrupt … 0x7
MAC address … 00095b 548ddb
Then I tried to ping my WLAN router:
PING 192.168.1.200 (192.168.1.200): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: Host is down
ping: sendto: Host is down
ping: sendto: Host is down

ping: sendto: Host is down
ping: sendto: Host is down
----192.168.1.200 PING Statistics----
13 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss
At the “nicinfo” command I see, that the card and driver founds my WLAN.
The SSID and channel is right !!!

Here is the the output of “ifconfig”:

Any idea’s whats wrong ?
The driver founds my WLAN SSID and channel.
Why does it not work ?
Thank you very much for your help !!!
Best regards
