Network Card not working

Just downloaded/installed qnx 6.10. It detects i have a network card ed0
and asks me to configure it, however it does not seem to be able to
communicate with the card. I have tried configuring using dhcp/manual
however i don’t see any traffic over the interface. The card is a sis900
which is supported which is detected by FreeBsd4.4 and XP any idea on
trouble shooting.

Check out the utility nicinfo, to check out the stats on the network
interface. Also use ifconfig to verify that your interface is configured
properly - see if you can set it up manually with an IP (check out the docs
on ifconfig for more info).


Cheers,
Adam

tried the ifconfig -a and it shows everything is configured

nicinfo shows the card and an increasing tx bytes sent whenever i try a ping
however there is no data for the rx parameters. irq is 11 and io port is
cc00-ccff however there is nothing else especially a mac address.

i also tried the following:
slay io-net
io-net -dsis9 -pttcpip -v if=en0:192.168.1.2:255.255.255.0

with no change. The only error i get is “Host is down”

The fact that the driver is not getting the mac address from the card make
me think there the card is using the wrong memory range for the card. The
next task is to find out how to specify that for the sis9 card.

Check the output of pci -vvv , and look for your nic card. It should give
you some info on vendor id and bus id. Try passing those as parameters to
your nic driver (to see those options do a “use /lib/dll/devn-sis9.so”).

That’s exactly what “host is down” usually means - the link layer is having
problems communicating, so the transport layer think that the other side
isn’t responding.
