I have a cool new problem with my D-Link DFE530TX card.
Following advice from Andrea Borsic (in a previous post), I switched PCI
slots, and when I booted into QNX, things worked great. However, after
running in W98 for a while, I booted back into QNX, and the card wouldn’t
work. It would appear that W98 is somehow messing with the card’s hardware
settings.
It is necessary right now to keep the computer in a dual-boot setup (my
Fiance needs W98 for her graphic design software), so is there a way to
protect the card’s settings from W98, or to reset it when I return to QNX?
Thank you!

Fully power off the computer between reboots. That should help.

I have seen many network cards that didn’t like to work after running
Windoze.
As they said, do a complete power down/up.

Also, not sure if it’s 100% related, you might try disabling “plug & play OS”
in your BIOS. It probably won’t work anyway if you have it enabled, but just
something else to check…
