Net from a Notebook

We have a new notebook computer for development testing in the plant.
It is a HP with built in network, modem and others.

We have install QNX 4.25 the December 1999 release. But, we can not see
the network.

We did a pcmciatrap. Nothing. Windoze reports the network card as a VIA
Fast Ethernet card PCI. The I/O range is e800-e8ff, memory is
fadfdf00-fadfdfff and the IRQ is 11. When we do a nettrap Net is the
only process that is started. We have tried a couple of different
drivers but no response.

Does anyone have a fix for this? Do we need to install a patch to the
OS?

Thanks in advance for the assistance.

nettrap won’t usually find/trap PCMCIA ethernet cards, you generally
have to start them manually.

First, make sure that “pin” by itself shows your ethernet card as
being an ethernet card (will probably claim NE1000, but that’s ok)
and gives the irq & ioport range correctly.

You may want to do this by hand, then once you’ve made sure it is working,
just put the commands in your sysinit.node file to be run from then on.

Net &
Net.via -pe800 -i11 &

And go from there. (Or, give Net.via the appropriate numbers.)
Essentially, its autodetect scans the PCI bus for cards, but does
not scan pcmcia.

QNX4 does not support any CardBus (PCI) cards. It only supports PCMCIA
(ISA) adapters.
