NIC install automatisation?

Hi

I’ve got a 3COM 3C509B, which is not installer by QNX when U install the
OS. I tried to type :

slay io-net
io-net -del509 -p tcpip

and it worked the very first time ! the next time I started QNX I had to
type this again but this time I couldn’t use my NIC to surf the web
(Voyager launches the dial-up window !)

so, I’ve got 2 questions :

  1. how to make it always work ?? :wink:
  2. how to make it automatic ?? (please tell me the exact file, the exact
    section, i’m quite new in this Linux-like world…). I saw in a previous
    topic that it had to be in /ect/config/rc.local file but i haven’t got
    this one. i tried to create it but it didn’t change anything !


    Subisdiary question : where to get good software? free?

Thanx a lot !!!

Hi Tim,

  • check the setup of the 509 card with the DOS setup diskette.
    Make sure that it is NOT set to plug and play.
  • You can have stuff automatically done in startup by following
    the instructions found here:

This is the right file except that you forgot to set the executable
permission to the file so that when you are booting, QNX has the rights to
execute the content of this file. I had exactly the same problem with this
network card and I corrected it by creating the rc.local file, putting the
same command as you and (what you forgot) setting the executable permission
to the rc.local file.

To set the permissions, all you have to do is go to /etc/rc.d/ directory,
type “chmod 755 rc.local”.

Hope this helps!
