Hi,
I am currently configuring several industrial PCs using QNX 4.25E for a
supervisory control system. These PCs have three 3Com PCI Ethernet cards
installed in each box and the first two cards (to be initialised) work fine
in each PC. The third card in each always report the following;
“INITIALIZATION ERROR 04”, and refuses to work. If I change the
initialisation order around, it is always the first two cards to be
configured that operate, that is, it is not tied to a particular card or PCI
slot.
I downloaded the latest Net.ether905 driver from the QNX website but this
didn’t produce any advances.
I have the relevant entries in the sysinit files thus:
Net &
Net.ether905 -v -l1 -I0 -pd000 -i5 &
Net.ether905 -v -l2 -I1 -pd400 -i11 &
Net.ether905 -v -l3 -I2 -pd800 -i12 &
netmap -f
I retrieved the addresses and interrupts from the Bios Screen and confirmed
them with show_pci -v.
Running nettrap query only reports the first two cards (in ascending address
order), incidentally.
I was wondering if there is a method of getting all three cards to work in
these PCs or is there a limitation in QNX/Net.ether905 that I haven’t heard
of?
Any suggestions or guidance would be appreciated.

Start Net with -d 3 to increase the number of network drivers
that are allowed to attach. The default is two.
Thanks,
I’ll give that a go.
