The version of the Net.ether509 driver is 4.24A frpm Jul 04 1997. Is there a
newer driver? Where can I get it?

Any suggestions? We’re stuck with this board. The system is working fine
with an old CMS board (driver Net.ether8003), but the board is obsolete.

What is the version of the driver that you are running (sin ver) ? This
driver hasn’t changed in over 3 years! What is the output from netinfo and
netinfo -l when the network dies?
Previously, Danny Gera wrote in qdn.public.qnx4:
We are using 3COM 3C509B network card with Net.ether509 driver on QNX
4.24.
We have occational inconsistent network failures. Sometimes the whole
network connection is lost - no process crashed, and activities continue
as
usual, but no network connection is possible, until we restart the QNX.
We have experienced also other failure during file transfer from another
computer (Sun). In that case non-NFS connections are possible.
We don’t have these problems with other cards we use. Also, the same
3COM
card is used (with Windows) in another product with no problems.
The initialization is with the command:
Net.ether509 -i 5 -v -l 2 &
Does anyone know about problems with this board/driver, or how to set it
correctly?
