Xircom woes

i have scoured thru the news groups and qnx web pages. it says xircom pcmcia
cardbus 10/100 ethernet adater is supported - hence i went and bought this
device.
doesn’t detect it - no amount of slaying the io-net helps either.
what am i doing so grossly wrong ?
would appreciate any insight. this is detected by windows 2000 and linux
quite happily. if this card is not supported,

  1. please update your pcmcia supported page and put something more explicit
    there
  2. i have some experience with writing solaris/linux device drivers so if
    someone were to point me to documentation which advises me as to how a
    driver for this beast can be written, i am willing to give that a try too.
    thanks

also i have no floppy drive on this beastly notebook.
it has a texas instruments cardbus bridge pci1251A pc card controller
the card reads RealPort CardBus Ethernet 10/100 RBE-100 at the back.
thanks

hello guys/gals. i really need help with this. nobody has even said as much
as “RTFM” in 5 days !! is this card supported or not ? if not, where can i
find a driver development kit and some documentation to go with it ? if yes,
please please can someone tell me why it doesn’t detect it and what should i
do to make it detect it ?
thanks again.

No, the RBEM-100 CardBus card is supported, not the PCMCIA version.

see, this is another confusion i have been plagued with. cardbus is the
equivalent of pci 32bit bus for pcmcia. ideally one would say RBEM-100 PCI
is supported not the PCMCIA version. this cardbus mixup is what made me
create this goofup.
http://www.pc-card.com/papers/cardbus.htm - i am not trying to annoy you -
you are the only person who even responded. just that i desperately want to
extoll the virtues of qnx within our environment which is disgustingly
pro-ce/palm and this is not making my life any easier.
do we have a ddk (there is a beta kit i saw somewhere on qnx website - i
will hunt for it) manual of sorts as to what needs to be done to
develop/compile etc. i would greatly appreciate it if you could let me know
where i can find it.
thanks much.

Thank you Erick.
I will check it out and who knows - I may actually get this card to work !!
I hope that has some documentation as to how to … etc.
Thanks again.

Hi Sundar,

You can download the DDK’s from > http://commercial.qnx.com/repository

BTW, I updated our supported hardware page to reflect the correct model.

Sorry for the mixup.

Take care.

Erick.
