OS VERSION: QNXRTP 6.1.0A
SYNOPSYS:
Cardbus Ethernet card (Planex FNW-3602-TX, actually AboCom FE2500MX OEM)
won’t work on Dell Latitude XPi CD 166ST
(using Texas Instruments PCI1131 CardBus Controller)
These two chips are supposed to be supported but won’t work.
The driver does mount by
io-net -d tulip -p tcpip
but “nicinfo” output shows zero for Rxd values—
suggesting IRQ isn’t routed properly.
Someone had been pissed on the same configuration before

WORKAROUND:
After trying hopelessly different things, I finally found out that
- (slay enum-pccard; slay devp-pccard; slay io-net)
- devp-pccard -w8,8
- Plug-in a PCMCIA network card
(I’m using I-O DATA PCLA/TE; something ne2000; works nicely in RTP
after adding a enumurator)
AND above FE2500, into the two slots.
(I heard TI1131 controller can’t mix PCMCIA and CardBus, so this
config should be illegal) - (confirm by “pin” that both cards are recognized)
- Now unplug both of them and re-plug FE2500 into the slot
which PCLA/TE PCMCIA card was in. - io-net -d tulip [verbose=10] -p tcpip
verbose=10 will still bark the media detect is failing, but
“nicinfo” output now correctly countsup the receiving
packets. “netmanager” etc now works.
ANALYSIS:
Now the CardBus card seems to work when PCMCIA card was previously plugged
in the same slot, current “devp-pccard” seems to lack someting in
CardBus-only initialization procedure. Passing through PCMCIA codepath
seems to correct the chip initialization.
Just hot-swapping PCLA/TE with FE2500 didn’t work; both card should be
plugged-in simultaneously for a period.
