Ok, I guess unfortaintly the NE2000 driver isn’t compatible with all NE2000
NIC’s then.

Interesting, I did talk with cdm, he said the symptoms seem to be that qnx
doesn’t know how to communicate with the interrupt for the card. I am able
to turn the card on, and send frame packets to the NIC, but qnx gives up
after the NIC doesn’t return a response. Atleast this is how I understand
it, the ACT light does infact flash before the ping, but nothing happens
while pinging. Unfortaintly I don’t have another notebook to test this card
with, but pci-bios does not even run on my Toshiba 430CDS laptop. I am able
to get an ethernet device en0. Is it difficult to write network device
drivers for qnx? How come PCI-BIOS doesn’t work?

NIC’s then.

Unfortunately, many manufacturers put in their own “special” extensions of
the NE2000 “spec”. Which can involve twiddling the card into an NE2000
mode
first etc etc. Thus it’s possible the card does startup in ne2000 mode
without some help.

Ok, I guess unfortaintly the NE2000 driver isn’t compatible with all
NE2000
NIC’s then.

Unfortunately, many manufacturers put in their own “special” extensions of
the NE2000 “spec”. Which can involve twiddling the card into an NE2000 mode
first etc etc. Thus it’s possible the card does startup in ne2000 mode
without some help.

HI Matt,

How old is the laptop? What errors do you get when you try to run
pci-bios? It could just be because your system does not have a PCI
bus in it. What you can try doing is in your boot image, edit the lines
in your boot image (wether it be the dma or non dma one:

[+script] startup-script = {

To save memory make everyone use the libc in the boot image!

For speed (less symbolic lookups) we point to libc.so.2 instead of libc.so

procmgr_symlink …/…/proc/boot/libc.so.2 /usr/lib/ldqnx.so.2

Default user programs to priorty 10, other scheduler (pri=10o)

Tell “diskboot” this is a hard disk boot (-b1)

Tell “diskboot” to not use DMA on IDE drives (-D0)

Start 4 text consoles buy passing “-n4” to “devc-con” (-o)

By adding “-e” linux ext2 filesystem will be mounted as well.

[pri=10o] PATH=/proc/boot diskboot -b1 -D0 -odevc-con,-n4 -opci-bios,-b1
}


Add the -opci-bios,-b1 to the diskboot command. This should then get rid of
your pci-bios error. All it does is tells pci-bios to only scan one of the
PCI buses.

Erick.

Interesting, I did talk with cdm, he said the symptoms seem to be that qnx
doesn’t know how to communicate with the interrupt for the card. I am able
to turn the card on, and send frame packets to the NIC, but qnx gives up
after the NIC doesn’t return a response. Atleast this is how I understand
it, the ACT light does infact flash before the ping, but nothing happens
while pinging. Unfortaintly I don’t have another notebook to test this card
with, but pci-bios does not even run on my Toshiba 430CDS laptop. I am able
to get an ethernet device en0. Is it difficult to write network device
drivers for qnx? How come PCI-BIOS doesn’t work?

I was just making the point that a NIC card advertised as NE2000 compatible
doesn’t mean it starts in that state, or doesn’t have special “extensions”
etc etc etc.

It’s not too hard to write a NIC driver for QNX if you have the data sheet
and/or manual for your card and the Networking DDK.

As to why your pci-bios doesn’t work, I think a little more information is
required. Have you tried running it with extra verbosity (ie. -v option).
Someone from the hardware group would be more helpful in this area.

I have seen this before too, an ‘NE2000’ nic card for my laptop suddenly
because magicly fictitious, when I tried to use it under any other OS
other than Windows. :frowning:
