ethernet 10/100 pcmcia

Does any one know of an ethernet 10/100 pcmcia card that is supported by
QNX4.


Pekka

I don’t beleive there is one.

Every ehternet chipset which is supported by QNX will work on PCMCIA
version.
The problem is only in pcmcia trap file if this pcmcia card isn’t defined
then trap program can’t find properly this card. So you can must do it by
yourself in trap file…

Last I heard from Hugh, QNX doesn’t support ANY 100mbit PCMCIA card,
though lots of 100mbit PCI ethernet cards are supported.

Hi,

Just to add a little wood to the fire.

I wish QSSL would support at least one 10/100 pcmcia card for QNX 4. Our
clients demand it! I’m sure there are tons of people who would benefit from
this.

TIA

Here’s what I’ve heard about this. 100Mbit Ethernet cards
are not PCMCIA, but rather Card Bus, or is it PC Card? The
problem is not support of the 10/100 card, but rather that
their admin is PCMCIA only.

I’m glad you got this out in the open. QNX 4 should have support for the PC
Card.
The more people make noise about this, the better. I would like to see this
supported.

This is correct, there are three “types” of PC Cards

PCMCIA 1.0
PCMCIA 2.0
CardBus

Cardbus is the only type of card that will support 100Mbit
connections. From my understanding to simply add support
for a 100Mbit card would be a major overhaul of the Pcmcia.generic
driver. I don’t know what the plans regarding support for this
is, however if need be there is always custom engineering that
could probably do something like this.

Erick.

When I got Window 95 I had to pay microsoft for a custom engineering for the
CardBus driver :slight_smile:.

All joking aside, this is one of those things that would benifit the entire
QNX 4 users. If you have to recover the cost as an upgrade cost to the OS
this would be okay with me.

We are a very small company and can’t afford to pay for a custom engineering
solution. This would be QSSL property and it would be given free to other
QNX4 users. What a deal for us :slight_smile:.

I just want to voice the need for this.

Well I would like to add my voice to this as well. My major motivation for

wanting cardbus support is that all laptop Ethernet cards that have
integrated RJ45 connectors are cardbus. We seem to get through a lot of brok
en connectors on the card otherwise. The only PCMCIA card that is reasonably
immune to damage is 3Com’s x-jack, but that is still fairly fragile.

On a slightly more serious note, QSSL seem to be trying to drive us to QNX6
more quickly than seems reasonable by not supporting things like cardbus
under QNX4. Is there somebody at QSSL who could co-ordinate requests for
cardbus support? If a reasonable number of people were willing to pay a
small fee it might get done, but it needs someone to co-ordinate it. (Anyone
care to take this on…?)
