I have a toshiba 1755 laptop with a linksys combo pcmcia ethernet card
I run “pcmciatrap query” it returns pcmcia.generic -a3e0 adapter intel
82365sl
I run “Pcmcia.generic” I can see the card in sock 1 port 320 IRQ 9 size
16
I start the network driver “Net.ether.1000 -p 320 -i 9 -v &”
the driver exits with out printing any thing
I have also run the Pcmcia.365sl, IRQ 4,9 and size 32
I can not change the port

Hi Rick,

Combo cards are not supported under QNX 4. However try running
Pcmcia.generic with the -i0 option and not -a3e0. See if that helps
at all.

Erick.

There is a enty in the knowledge base for getting EC2T, search for linksys.
Took me a while to get mine working.

The card reports combo but from the outside it’s not a combo at all :wink:

the name of the card “combo pcmcia ethernet card” is 10baseT and thin Coax
on the qnx web site the EC2T is on the supported list and in pcmcia.cards
file

under product “combo PCMCIA EthernetCard (EC2T)”

I ran “Pcmcia.generic -i0”
and ran the network driver return initialization error 04 and printed out
“proc_ptr = 0000 :0000 proc_size 0000”

just a note: in photon I do not get the print out of errors just the
“Done”

The network driver output messages directly to the console, so if you are
running Photon, you will not see any network driver messages. Have you added
the configuration for the Linksys card to the /etc/config/pcmcia.cards file?
Also, when you have added the card to pcmcia.cards, you must edit the file
and remove all the “width=16” from the end of the lines for the ioport
entries. Also start “Pcmcia.generic -i0”.

If it still does not work, post the output from ‘pin’, ‘pin re’ and ‘pin con’.
