Driver for Intel 82562ET network chipset?

Hello.

I was wondering if there was any network driver for the Intel 82562ET
chipset, which is used in the built-in network cards in the Dell
computers we use. The cards are Intel Pro/100 VE cards. Is there a
driver for QNX 4?

Thanks in advance.

Please post the output from ‘show_pci -v’ so that I can see the vendor
and device id of the chipset.

Sure. I believe this is the appropriate entry:

Vendor ID = 8086h, INTEL CORPORATION
Device ID = 2449h,
PCI index = 0h
Class Code = 020000h Network (Ethernet) ProgIF=0
Revision ID = 1h
Bus number = 2
Device number = 8
Function num = 0
Status Reg = 290h
Command Reg = 117h
Header type = 0h Single-function
BIST = 0h Build-in-self-test not supported
Latency Timer = 40h
Cache Line Size= 8h un-cacheable
Base Address = MEM@ff9ff000h,32bit length 4096 IO@df00h length 64
bytes
Subsystem Vendor ID = 8086h
Subsystem ID = 3013h
Max Lat = 56ns
Min Gnt = 8ns
PCI Int Pin = 1
PCI Int Pin = INT A
Interrupt line = 3

Thanks, Hugh.

We don’t have this chipset in our Net.ether82557 driver. According to
the Intel site, this chipset is 82559 compatible. The site also states
that this adapter uses a special communications riser board. Do you have
the riser board and the adapter? What PC are you running this on?
If you try the Net.ether82557 driver with the -V and -D options for the
Vendor and Device IDs, does it work?

Well, some good news and some bad news. The good news is that I tried
the -V and -D options to the Net.ether82557 driver and it works great -
thanks for the easy fix! The bad news is, I don’t exactly know how to
answer your question about the riser board. The computer in question is
a Dell Dimension 4100 and the ethernet stuff is built into the
motherboard, so I am not sure about the riser board.

Thanks again.

Not to worry about that, thanks. As long as the driver works! I will add
this device ID to the driver.

Hugh.

Thanks again.

Hello,

We also are using the same computer and having the same problems. The system is using QNX4.24, but
we copied the June 2000 CD versions of Net, Net.ether82557, and netinfo into the /bin directory.

Initially starting the driver with just the port and irq cmd line parms causes the driver to
state it cannot find the NIC and exits.

Using the -V 8086 and -D 2449 options, the driver keeps running, but returns a MAC of 000000 000000.

We are using Net.ether82557 dated Feb 7, 2000.

Thanks
