Hi group…

Now I have a copy of qnx 6.20 non commercial use only that I download from
the web.

I´m looking for the way to connect me with Internet. My problem is: I have a
radio connection or WiFi, through an antena I connect to www. (I have an
antena on my house and an 11mbps Orinoco card)
I don´t have a modem. And I couldn´t stablish a connection with the
Internet (now I´m connecting by my windows connection) because I don´t find
the way to indicate the card or mode that I use to connect.

Is it clear my problem? Can you understand me?
Do I need some specials drivers? Where can I find them?

Thank you for your atention.

Make new file with the following as it’s contents:

slay io-net
/sbin/io-net -p tcpip -d /lib/dll/devn-orinoco.so channel=10,
ssid=linksys, station=qnx,verbose
sleep 5
/sbin/ifconfig en0 192.168.1.146 netmask 255.255.255.0
/sbin/route flush
/sbin/route add 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1

But change 192.168.1.146 for your own IP and ‘linksys’ for the SSID of
your Wireless router (Windows will tell you this).

And that might just work, fingers crossed.

hey, i have a linksys card. how would i do that procedure with the
linksys card? i’m guessing i’d have to substitute devn-orinco.so
with the name of my linksys driver but i’m not sure what that is, or
if i even have drivers installed. if they don’t come automatically
with the 6.1 installation, then i don’t have them and i guess my
question would be where do i get them. the card’s the wireless g
54mbps pci adapter.

can anybody help me get up and running?

The linksys reference is the SSID of my WiFi router, what you will need
to do is find out what internal chipset your WiFi card uses. You can get
that off the manufacturers website, or maybe run the ‘pin’ command for
PCMCIA devices, or ‘pci’ for PCI devices.

A great many WiFi cards are not supported under QNX, so don’t get your
hopes up…

it looks like i have a broadcom chipset. according to the qnx
hardware support page all the listed broadcom networking chipsets use
the devn-tigon3.so driver. i’ll try that.

i just checked and realized that i don’t have the devn-tigon3.so
driver. does anyone know where i can get that?

I have not heard of that driver, but maybe it is present in 6.3, 6.20 is
actually quite old, despite the small change in version no.
