TrendNet PCMCIA ethernet support?

Hi,

I realize that this card isn’t specifically supported, but when I put
it in my NEC laptop and boot the Jan 18th version of RTP, the
machine comes to a screeching halt! So much in fact, that the
mouse pointer can hardly be moved.

Specs: TRENDnet TE-210CT PCMCIA 10Mbps ethernet card

It is supposed to be NE2000 compatible, and I haven’t had any
problems using it under other OSs…

Is there something I can do to help make it RTP friendly?

Thanks!
Kevin

I forgot to mention that when RTP boots, it spits out the following message
repeatedly:

ne2000_outs: Unable to set write address

Hi Kevin,

Could you do the following:

  1. Boot the machine without the ethernet card
  2. Login as root and slay devp-pccard
  3. ‘devp-pccard’
  4. ‘pin > file’
  5. ‘pin cis >> file’
  6. ‘pci -v >> file’
  7. Send me ‘file’ to emuis@qnx.com

Thanks!

Erick.

Hi Kevin,

Sorry I should have specified to insert the card once you got
devp-pccard running :slight_smile:

Anyway there has been a fix with devp-pccard that applies to PCI
to PCMCIA bridge chips, this will be included with QNX 6.0.0b
(patch B) which should be out very shortly.

If you could try the new patch once it comes out and let us know
if that helps.

Thanks again

Erick.

I thought it was funny you wanted the info without the card in. Just as
an FYI, here it is WITH the card inserted still using patch A…

I swapped the hard drive to another machine so I could install patch B/C.

This didn’t help the network problem any, and now photon doesn’t
ever recognize the input device unless I boot into safe mode and
start it manually.
