Hello, I have a new copy of QNX 4.25 and I’m trying to install it on a new
PCI-bus PC. Basic installation seemed to go well (I’ve got the Photon
MicroGUI running). But I have been struggling with installing networking.
The network card is a 3Com 3C905CX. If I start the Net.ether905 driver
with defaults, it causes a kernel panic and the machine doesn’t boot. If I
give the -I option with anything other than -I0, then the Net.ether905
driver silently fails to start (-v doesn’t give any diagnostics either).
show_pci does detect the card and the settings it shows seem reasonable.
I’m running out of airspeed, altitude, and ideas here. Any suggestions you
can make would be greately appreciated.
I’m trying to get this QNX system to be a client on a TCP/IP network with
Unix, Linux, and Windows machines. This system will mostly be a passive
client (DNS & routing provided elsewhere). The only services I need to run
on this machine are telnetd and ftpd.
Thank you;
Matt Moore
