Sorry but this is not a supported network card.

Hmm… I was looking at the supported NIC page and i see mention of this
“Generic Tulip driver” and was wondering, would there be any way to get
this
card to work with this driver?
Hello,
Can you post an output from ‘pci -vvvv’, so I can check if you support
this card.
Regards,
Marcin
Side Note, may/may not be important:
My install was from the small ISO, rather than the standard super-small
Windows executable.
Thanks!

Well, if your ethernet card is not autodetected then you have problems
beyond
the scope of those documents. You should probably check our webpage to
see
if that nic (CNET PRO200WL PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter?) is supported.
Perhaps
some of our network driver guys would know. Either way, the first
thing
to
do is to get the nic running since without it, you can’t talk to the
cable
modem.
Since NICs are so cheap, I would say that rather than fighting with it,
just
run out and drop a couple bucks for a supported NIC. Then you’ll be
cooking.
cheers,

Okay, trying this, It seems that my card is not autodetected by QNX.
I assume this means that i get to play with that techno-mambo from
earlier,
then…
mmh, i guess i’ll give it a go. even tho i still think it makes no
sense.

Well, it might not be that bad…if your ethernet card works under
RTP,
we should be able to get the cable modem up and running.
Try going into the network configuration menu. It’s the little
network
icon on the shelf or you can run ‘phlip’ at the command line.
You’ll
need
to be root. Under the ‘devices’ tab you should have a network card
‘en0’,
assuming that your card has been autodetected. If you set the
connection
type to “DHCP”, you may get an IP from your cable modem. If nothing
else,
you should see some ‘blinkenlights’ on the modem showing that the
network
card is trying to talk to it. If it works, the ‘network’ tab should
show
you some information about the IP, etc.
Now I’m still working on the assumption that your ethernet card is
working
properly. If it isn’t, you have to solve that problem first. The
next
thing
to try if the interface failed to come up in the last step is to
enter
an
ID.
I don’t know how RoadRunner works but when you get setup for
Rogers@home,
they
give you a weird hostname like crd-10382 that you have to set in
windows.
It
would be under ‘My Computer’/properties/network identification (or
something
like that) If there is something special that needs to be set, then
you
might
want to try putting that into the ID field in the devices tab of
phlip.
Give it a try…you might get lucky. >

okay…
I couldn’t make sense of that at all.
all this typethis, poke that, dhcp left, turn the knob one-half
circle…

--; i guess i should just stick to windows for the 'net.
Thanks, anyway.

find
the
Linux Cable modem HOWTO. This has specific notes for various
providers
(including RoadRunner). Now things will be a little different
with
QNX
but
the principles will be the same. You’ll need to bring the
interface
up
with DHCP to obtain your IP. Some providers require additional
stuff -
for
instance, I’m with rogers@home and they give you a special
hostname
that
needs to be set for dhcp to work. For starters I’d probably just
hook
it
up
and see if it comes up automatically. The default configuration
for
a
network card in RTP is DHCP.

Heyla all, I’m Stormis, and I was wondering…
I’m just getting started with QNX again, now that I have a
non-proprietary
connection to the internet, and I’ve run into a problem, it
seems.
I haven’t the foggiest clue as to how to set up my Ericsson
PipeRider
cablemodem (and anything else that is needed) on my box.
I tried reading the manual… I looked up an article in the
self
help
area…
…and it makes no sense to me - it seems to be written for the
more
tech-savvy user.
If anyone is willing to help me, I would be graeful. ^^
the NIC is a CNET PRO200WL PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter, and i’m
connected
via
RoadRunner.
If i need more info, please, tell me. >
