How do I set up ethernet connection? I cant even seem to load my drivers,
and I dont think my network card is recognised.
Thanks.

If you need to manually start your network the easiest way is as follows:

Make sure that /etc/net.cfg is setup correctly.

Execute follow (these command will vary depending on your NIC type. This
example is for a Dell Dimension 4550 with on-board Intel NIC. The vendor ID
(vid) and device ID (did) can be found with the pci command. Speedo is the
driver for Intel chipset, look at the documentation on devn-* for the
various drivers.)

slay -f io-net
io-net -dspeedo vid=0x8086,did=0x1039 -p tcpip
sleep 2
netmanager

You can put the above commands into something like /etc/rc.d/rc.local

make sure rc.local has it executable flag set.

Thanks. But carrying out these instructions gives (after io-net command):
Unable to init dll devn-speedo: No such device

However, I can find the devn-speedo.so file in 5 locations including
/lib/dll/…
What am I doing wrong?
The command netmanager doesn’t seem to do anything either…
My vid and did are the same as below.
What should the contents of a typical /etc/net.cfg be? Presumably just my
hostname and domain?

Thanks,
Alastair.

I’ve now sorted the problem - something to do with term types I think…
Thanks.

It is because speedo is driver for Intel network chipsets.

Look at following link for information on which driver to use.

http://www.qnx.com/support/sd_hardware/platform/network.html

You can see that devn-speedo is listed for Intel.

Sometimes if you forget to do a “slay -f io-net” in between you can get the
error message that you describe.

It did find the driver (devn-speedo.so).
But the driver couldn’t find a NIC card that it knows how to talk to.

When you say the vid & did are the same as below, do you mean that
the vid & did that showed up in ‘pci -v’ are the same, or that what
you passed on the command line was the same as the example.

What you should do is look at the vid & did from ‘pci -v | less’ and
pass them on the command line.
