3COM 905B NIC

Has anyone gotten a 3COM 905B-TX Fast Etherlink 10/100 PCI TX NIC Network
card up and working? The card was working fine under 6.1 and now after I’ve
upgraded to 6.2 the card won’t work. I don’t see the devn-el900.so up
either by doing a “pidin ar”

It is “mounted” into io-net at boot time so you wouldn’t see it in the
argument list. Try running “pidin mem” and looking to see if the shared
lib is in the io-net process. You can also try “nicinfo”.

pidin ar won’t show devn-el900.so as the driver is mounted to io-net.
Please do the following:

Some additional information

The message box that I get when I select DHCP and then click Apply is:
netmanager error: Could not configure DHCP on interface en0
netmanager error: dhcp.client Could not reach DHCP server on interface en0

Also under sloginfo I get:
netmanager error: Could not set route (dest 0.0.0.0): Network is unreachable

ifconfig -a shows:

Hi,
If you ever make your NIC work, please tell me how you managed. I’ve been
trying to make my 3com509 work for the past week and I’m running out of
ideas. I think everything is okay but I can only ping the computer itself
and no other PCs. I’m a beginner so my guess is that I’m missing a really
small detail. I’m currently trying QNX 6.2 with a 3com 509 combo. Is it
normal that there is no socket command? I was trying to setup QNX to get
its IP from a DCHP (coyote linux) but I get the same message as you:
The message box that I get when I select DHCP and then click Apply is:
netmanager error: Could not configure DHCP on interface en0
netmanager error: dhcp.client Could not reach DHCP server on interface en0

So I tried giving it a static ip in the same range 192.168.36.18 but still I
can’t ping no other PCs.
The command I’m trying
slay -f netmanager
slay -f io-net
io-net -del509 -ptcpip
netmanager
nicinfo => everything seems fine.
netstat -rni => no quite sure
ifconfig en0
route => I tried something like this route add default 192.168.36.1
(GateWay IP)
What is the solution/next step for me to do?

TIA

Samuel

You are talking about 2 completely different chipsets here! The 509 is an
ISA card, whereas the 905 is a PCI card. The 509 is a Plug 'n Play card, so
you will have to use the 3Com DOS utility to turn PnP off and set the I/O
port and IRQ of this card. You must also have a free I/O port at 0x100, as
this is where the driver reads the card’s configuration information.
