Number of hardware problems

Hello there. ^.^ QNX looks great so far, very quick installation! However,
it seemed to have the slightest bit of difficulty with a number of pieces of
hardware…the first was the sound card, an ESS1869 model. None of the
applications using sound appeared to work, though the card is SBPro and
similar-compatible. As well, the network card (Realtek 8029 chipset, should
be NE2000 compatible) -seemed- to be detected, as the network configuration
menu showed up with some information relating to my DHCP server…however
there was no /dev/en0 created, no hosts would resolve, and starting Voyager
only got me to a menu repeatedly asking for a dialup; there was no place at
which I could select the network card either. :> Any ideas?

Well, at boot up does there exist a /dev/io-net/en0? It doesn’t make
a /dev/en0. :slight_smile: Could you also post the output from nicinfo? Do you have
three tabs in the network config app or just one?

At my boot up I had two tabs, but after a massive amount of tweaking I got
the en0 tab too, but I havent got it to work yet…

I’m currently reading all threads about network / NIC config in all of the
newsgroups I can read, and it does help a lot.

I still doesnt have a working soundcard either, but that I can live without
:wink:

Hi,

slay off io-net
then restart mio-net -dne2000 -ptcpip
using the -ptcpip you will be enabling the large stack
then reopen the net cfg gui now you should have 3 tabs.
From there you must enable the device.
