Where to find devn-i82544.so

Hi,

We are using QNX 6.2.1. We have a new IBM T42 laptop. It appears to need the
devn-i82544.so driver. At least that’s what the Hardware Support page at QNX
says. But it doesn’t seem to exist.

Is it just a myth that this driver exists for 6.2.1? Is it 6.3 only? If so,
why does the hardware support for 6.2.1 say that it should be used for these
Intel chipsets?

Thanks
Marc

This driver is in the PE version of 6.2.1.

Ok, we temporarily installed our PE 6.2.1 on the laptop. Still no driver. Is
there any way to just get the driver from QNX?

FYI, here’s the list of drivers that show up in /lib/dll after installing
from our 6.2.1 PE CD:

crys8900
eepro
el509
el589
el900
epic
fd
klsi
lance
ne2000
ns83815
orinoco
pcnet
pegasus
rtl
sis9
smc9000
speedo
tulip
via-rhine
wd

Thanks

Do you have Patch B installed?

Hi,

No we don’t. I’m downloading it now, and we’ll try again. The driver shows
up in the docs for 6.2.1 SE and PE pre-patches, though. How did it get into
the documentation but not into the release? That’s not how it usually is
with software:-)

Did you apply the Momentics package via the QNX Software installer? I have
seen cases before where only the intial phase of the install was completed
so people did not have all components of the OS installed.

Hi,

We think we did. The problem is that the laptop screen goes crazy during the
initial install, so it’s hard to do it all in one go (You pretty much have
to reboot, and then finish the install by manually running the installer).
Anyway, after we installed patch B the driver was there. Thanks for the
help.

BTW, is this driver really only available for PE? Or is it just that it
didn’t make it on to any SE CD in time?

Thanks
Marc

In 6.2.1 it is only available in PE.
The driver is in both SE and PE in 6.3.0.
