Net:nm_load() ... failed

I am having problems setting up a system with a dual Intel 82559 lan.
I am running the May 2001 QNX4 install version. On boot I get

Net: nm_load():brg_tbl_autoload() failed.

ifconfig: socket: No such process
ifconfig: socket: No such process

route: socket: No such process.

At this point you can’t ping the card because it has no identity.

If you manually start the driver and route command you can start the
card and ping it but can’t get outside the machine.

I have disabled the second controller and am using the following driver

/bin/Net &
/bin/Net.ether82557 -I0 -l1 -s10

Any ideas?

Hi Ann,

How are you starting the network driver? Could you post the text
of your sysinit script?

Do you have a sleep between starting up Socket and ifconfig? As
there may be a race condition for you in that Socket hasn’t finished
init’ing yet and ifconfig wants to run, thus the error
“socket: No such process”.

Thanks

Erick.
