losing network sporadically

Hello,
I couldn’t find the perfect newsgroup name to post to so I figured this was
close enough.
I’m running 6.2NC and am getting sporadic loss of my network interface.
It happens at least once a day though. Here is output of some network
related commands
after the connection is lost.

uname -a

QNX dhcppc2 6.2.0 2002/05/21-12:17:24edt x86pc x86

ping localhost

ping: socket: Address family not supported by protocol family

nicinfo

nicinfo: Could not open: /dev/io-net/en0, (No such file or directory)

Pretty nasty huh?
Perhaps someone can venture a guess as to why this happens?
Thanks!

io-net is probably dying. What driver are you running?
Is anything logged in the sloginfo? If you start io-net
from the command line is anything displayed on the
console when it dies?

How do I tell which driver I am running?
I didn’t see anything en0 related in sloginfo, but will check if/when en0
dies
again.
I’ll also try restarting io-net from the command line.
Now, I did find a /var/dumps/io-net.core but can’t remember how to look
at in gdb ?

TIA,
Kevin

‘pidin me’, looking for devn* under io-net.

I didn’t see anything en0 related in sloginfo, but will check if/when en0
dies
again.

It might not have such a convenient label. Maybe post the entries
around the time it dies, if any.

I’ll also try restarting io-net from the command line.

The only devn* I have is … devn-speedo.so
Does that seem right? Should I get a newer driver?

My NIC is:

INTEL 82558 Ethernet Controller
Physical Node ID … 000347 D25E4D
Current Physical Node ID … 000347 D25E4D
Media Rate … 10.00 Mb/s half-duplex UTP
MTU … 1514
Lan … 0
I/O Port Range … 0xDF00 → 0xDF3F
Hardware Interrupt … 0xB
Promiscuous … Disabled
Multicast … Enabled

===========================================
io-net from the command line didn’t help…

I think I narrowed it down to the connection problem happening when I fire
up the pkg-installer under photon.

Was there nothing in the sloginfo or on the console from
where it was started?
