setup 3Com PCMCIA network card

Description info:
OS: QNX 4.25 PatchE, release date 31-Mar-2001
Photon microGUI v1.14 Patch C
QNX TCP/IP Runtime Version 5.0
Graphics Driver v1.14 Patch B

Network card:
3Com Megahertz / 10 Mbps LAN, Model: 3CCE589EC
EA=00105A8BB702
SN=6QK18BB702
PN:16-0181-000 REV:A

Computer:
Dell inspiron 6000

Before install the QNX into this notebook, we install windows 2000
and test the above network card. It works fine (i.e., we can get on the
internet via this 3Com card). We install the above OS (QNX) into this
notebook and use Net.ether589 as it driver for the 3Com card. The problem
we ran into is that the computer pickup the right MAC address of the card,
but It CANNOT transmit (or see other nodes) any packages (we verify all
the MAC address in “netmap” file is correct). What can be wrong? I need
you help to resolve this problem ASAP.

Here is some description of setting:

pcmciatrap start
sleep 3
Net &
sleep 3
Net.ether589 -vvv -i7 -p0x320 -l1 &
sleep 3
netmap -f

When we do netinfo -L1, we get the output:

Thank you for your help!

Have you tried another interrupt? Modify your /etc/config/pcmcia.cfg file
and add irq 5 before irq 7, slay Pcmcia.generic and restart it. If this
doesn’t work, you may have to upgrade to 4.25G and use the pccard driver
which supports the latest CardBus adapters.
