I just upgraded to QNX 4.25 patch D, from 4.24 something or other.
In my sysinit I had the line:
Net.ether82557 -s100 -P &
when I try to load Net.ether82557 I get:
Missing argument for option ‘P’
I was using -P to use netsnoop to see ethernet packets.
I did discover that if I just reverse the order and make it:
Net.ether82557 -P -s100 &
it seams to load just fine.
Unless there is a good reason for this, I’m thinking that this is a
bug(lette).
Oh, BTW. If I type:
use Net.ether82557
on the second line I get:
INTERNAL_USE_ONLY
One last thing, I find it useful to NOT use tab characters in usage
messages.
Use spaces instead. In “use Net.ether82557” nothing lines up and it is very
hard to read.

Yup, looks like a bug, I will submit it for you.
