I recently tried a Xircom CreditCard Ethernet 10/100 + Modem 56 PCMCIA (non
Cardbus) with QNX 6.0.1
If I boot with the card in the slot, the system freezes on devp-pccard. It
just waits there till I eject the card and then eveything’s fine. Here is
the syslog on the boot up:

In the times above, 18:48:03 must be around the time when I ejected the card
and system came back up.
Once QNX is up and running, if I insert the card back again, the system
slows to a crawl…(doesn’t freeze this time). Here is the syslog on that:
(I cleared the logs for brevity)

Feb 12 18:56:47 2 18 0 Unable to find port
Feb 12 18:56:47 2 18 0 devp-pccard: Unable to allocate port
And here is the pin on that card
Sock Func Type Flags PID Base Size IRQ
1 Empty ----MF---------- None
1 Empty ----MF---------- None
2 0 Serial C—I-±–X----- 90125 0x2e8 8 7
2 1 Network C–NIF---------- None 7
And the system is back to normal again if I remove the card. Here’s the
syslog again:

Feb 12 18:59:38 2 18 0 Free resource2 Invalid argument
Also I think I noticed this: if I slay devp-pccard, launch it again and then
insert the card, the system seems to stay up normal (not certain about
this).
Thanks,
