Joe,
the hardware is Sony VAIO PCG-Z505HS notebook, which is not manufactured
any more. The Speedo is built into the notebook, it’s not on any card or
module. I hope you will understand that I am not going to send you my
notebook.
As the Linux driver suffers from the same symptom and that one is open
source, I will do my best to find the root cause using the Linux driver
and send you the diffs for you to fix in the QNX driver. The only thing
which is sure is that the original Intel driver for Windows 98 does not
suffer from these symptoms. If you have a way to monitor what the
Windows 98 driver does and the QNX driver does not while resetting the
chip, you have a solution.
To repeat once more what is known about the problem:
- after COLD start, everything works fine
- after WARM reboot from Windows (well, the machine seems to behave the
same, ie. starts with same diagnostics on the screen), the Speedo chip
is recognized, the driver starts, but nicinfo reports the MAC address as
all FF and the driver cannot determine the media interface. Forcing the
driver parameters manually does not help, the MAC address is still all
FF and no frames are sent our nor received.

Hi Petr,
We have tested the speedo driver on all the hardware we have here and it works fine.
If you are able and willing to send the hardware to us we can test and try make a fix for the problem.
Without your hardware it is impossible for us to develop a fix.
Regards,
Joe

Joe,
I made it working even without any extra parameters, but after a COLD
start of the notebook (ie. turn off and on again). When rebooted from
Windows, the driver recognizes the device (ie. the vid= and did= is
probably not needed), but the device does not work. The same actually
happens in Linux 2.2.x, so I guess that the root cause is the same and
has something to do with some strange state Windows leaves the device in
(at least in the Sony VAIO machine). It also may mean that the PCI bios
in the VAIO is not 100% perfect. Any further explanation or hint would
be welcomed. I am willing to test any driver fixes or whatever to get it
working properly.

Hi Petr,
Do a ‘pci’ to find the vendor ID (vid) and the device ID (did).
Then start io-net as follows:
io-net -dspeedo vid=0x??? did=0x??? -pttcpip …
Replace the ‘???’ with the info found using ‘pci’.

Joe

Hi,
I’ve started the demo and everything is running fine except the Intel
8255x 10/100 Ethernet chip. The machine is Sony Vaio PCG-Z505HS, the
display is recognized properly and some other peripherals.
The device is found as en0, but the default setup does not recognize the
MAC address nor the (built-in) RJ-45 transceiver. I have tried to setup
the transceiver through options to the module which helped, but the MAC
address is still all FF’s and the adapter does not run. Without network,
there is not much I can do - specially to download further packages.
Any help would be appreciated.
