Newbies questions:
1)
Just installed QNX 6.1 but can’t find nettrap, any other command to trap net
devices?
-
I saw that I have to give IRQ and IO address for my NIC (3Com Etherlink III
ISA 3C509/3C509b).
Well my IRQ is 10 and the IO address range is 0300 to 030F.
Does someone know how to install this NIC and what is the command line
-
How to connect with pppoe?
Do i have to link my NIC to this protocol, how?
How to put tcp/ip linked to my NIC too?
4)
Any place where I can say to start with the NIC installed and start pppoe
connection to my ISP?
HOW can i do that and where is the file(s)
I know that is a lot of questions in one shot, sorry for that…!!!
Thank’s for your help

In QNX 6.1 there isn’t any nettrap, the enumerators detect all the hardware at startup.

Take a look at the help under QNX Utilities → devn-el509.so . It will describe
all the command line parameters you need to setup your ethernet card manually.
Just make sure you slay io-net before starting io-net again.

Check out the help docs under QNX Utilities → npm-pppoe.so and it will give you
examples on how to do start the PPPoE services w/ TCP/IP.

Depends when you want the connection to come up? At boot time or login time?
You could just add a script to the /etc/profile.d directory to start all
your services. You could start the services in your .profile (in your
home directory) so upon login, you connection starts up.
Don’t forget to use the Knowledge Base, as it answers many questions about QNX.

This is something I personally find rather annoying, is there anyway to
get the same info that nettrap provided?
If you work on a computer where you’re not sure of which io-net driver
to use, and you have to restart io-net due to some reason, then you
really need that info…
Hi,
If your io-net is already running, you can use the following commands to see which driver shared object
is mounted and which parameters were used to start io-net.
pidin mem → Displays all processes and the libraries/shared objects that are mounted.
pidin arg → Displays arguments used to start each process.
Use both these commands to find the info your looking for. If your io-net was never running and you
need to know which driver shared object you should be mounting for your specific network card see the
QNX Support hardware Webpages.

Yes, I know… I just feel that a utility like nettrap is a handy thing
to have 
besides, accessing the Support pages is slightly difficult if you don’t
allready have io-net running with the proper driver
