Hiya again peeps

After solving the mouse problems yesterday I finally got trough to the QNX/photon gui thingy and had chance to have a play about. The first thing that I wanted to do was get the thing online and see what was available for d/l. (you know, general thing, play about n tweak!)

I currently run on a ADSL connection via a Ethernet Modem (Thompson Speedtouch 510v4). I couldnt get the ethernet connection working by using my onboard port so I reinstalled the realtek 10/100 RTL8139 (‘C’ varient iirc) based card back into my PC (I used this when I tried QNX4 out ages ago).

I went to the network page and (I think) I added a new connection. I changed the drop down to PPPoE (I think that was it) and then went to select the Ethernet card I have installed. Unfortunately the dropdown box did not have any card or selections available .

Is there some magic switch in QNX6 that I need to flick so I can use the card? Like I said, I know it worked in QNX 4.

Cheers
Sam

ok, just rechecked on the supported hardware page for my NIC.
qnx.com/support/sd_hardware/ … rk.html#11
Going by that it is supported, but do I need to download a driver to make it work?

Actually, thinking about it, can I utilise the network setup and everything if I am ‘testing’ it out from the CD? (I have yet to do a propper hard disk install, although I tried last night and had problems)

Sam

Nope.

Everything that is officially supported should get configured automatically.

try turning off “PnP OS Installed” setting in your BIOS (set it to “No”).

FYI, the ethernet module that you need is rtl. If the above thing doesn’t do the magic, then here is the black magic you need-

1. Open up terminal
2. type “slay io-net”
3. type “io-net -d rtl -p tcpip”
4. wait for 5 seconds
5. type “nicinfo”
6. if step (5) lists correct info about your NIC then you’re set, if not get back to us
7. Assuming everything is ok, you should be able to setup TCIP setting from the GUI

Hi,
I have had the same problem and followed these instructions.
I have a dual network (via CL1000 motherboard) with via rhine net chipset.
“pci” command shows both ethernet hardware sets and at different address, but the “nicinfo” only shows info for one of them and I cant get the network GUI to find any.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Kevin

Networking in QNX 6.2.1 does not work untill after the second part of the HDD installation is complete. This happened for only 6.2.1 so far and I hope won’t be happening again.

So, booting from a QNX 6.2.1 CDROM is no good for testing network cards.

I’m havins somewhat similar problems. I execute steps 1-5 as you describe, then run the GUI configurator. The problem is that upon reboot, the network configuration disappears and /etc/net.cfg is set back to the default. This is rather mysterious to me.

You can do it with “rc.local” or mess with the enum files.

I tried all the driver and here is the command to
try to load one that doesn’t freeze my system :

slay -f io-net

io-net -dspeedo did=0x4401,vid=0x14e4,verbose -ptcpip

And then I checked the nicinfo :

So I suppose that my driver is incorrect.
I know that there is a driver working under Linux but
I wouldn’t really enjoy to rewrite one because I can’t
get any source code for example under QNX…

Everything is fine under Windows 2000 and here are some
info that I get from ipconfig /all :

Can anyone help me?

You are in luck that someone else has done it already

Hi!

Thanks for your help!
Got that driver and installed it.

Even with that driver I can’t get my internet connection to work.
Here is how I load my driver and everything seems fine : (I’m root)

slay -f io-net

io-net -dbcm4400 did=0x4401,vid=0x14e4,verbose -ptcpip

ifconfig -a

lo0: flags=8009<UP,LOOPBACK,MULTICAST> mtu 33220

en0: flags=8842<BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
address: 00:e0:18:fa:0e:64

Then, when I open phlip, there is always error messages but I don’t know why.
I see the devices tab for my en0.
For the connection type I choose DHCP and check the enable device box and when
I click on apply, it takes some time and I get this message : “Could not spawn ‘netmanager’.
Bad file descriptor.” And then if I try nicinfo again, I get this :

nicinfo

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

Can it be because of the driver? Is it me who as something misconfigured?

Thanks for your help
Francis

Try skip the parameters and try again.
ala. io-net -dbcm4400 -ptcpip
then start phlip.

Unless you give me the exact error message from phlip, I won’t be able to helpout more.
is there a coredump of io-net in /var/dumps ? If so, feel free to email it (compress it, or if it’s too large, upload it somewhere)

btw. I am the author of that driver
