Tcp/IP 4.23 - error message

I am trying to install TCP/IP 4.23 on QNX 4.25. I have put the MAC
address from the card into the /etc/config/netmap card, and when the
system starts, I receive the following message after the “looking for
network card”:

ifconfig: ioctl: (SIOCGIFFLAGS) no such interface.

Any thoughts as to a method to debug this and fix it?

Thanks

Sounds like there is no Net.etherXXX driver for the card. What does
sin -P Net
show?

If the driver is running, what does netinfo -l show?

And if that looks OK, what does the TCP/IP startup script (usually
/etc/netstart) contain?

… and you shouldn’t need anything in the netmap file unless you
are also using QNX native networking.

Thanks. The card, although a 3C900-TPO, was close enough to be found by OS,
but not close enough to be run by the driver. I swapped the card with
another machine that had a 3C905-TX (a windows box with all kinds of
available drivers), and the QNX networking started up. So all is happy.

Regards
