Is there driver support for Broadcom BCM4401 (vendor id=14e4h, device
id=170ch) for RTOS?

devn-bcm43xx.so in patch 685 should support it.

It doesn't look like the patch updated the enumerators so you could either
start io-net with the driver yourself, mount the driver in after io-net is
running, or update the enumerators yourself.

Got no errors... but when I click on voyager it doesn't find www.qnx.com...

Any ideas?

How do I setup gateway... etc...?

You'll have to set the IP and route with ifconfig and route, then add dns
to /etc/resolv.conf if you want to resolve names. If you have dhpc on
your network you can use dhcp.client to automatically get your networking
information from the dhcp server.

Ryan,

I tried ...

ifconfig en1 192.9.200.240 up

I got no such device or address

same result with

ifconfig en0 192.9.200.240 up

Are there commands different than QNX4?

Can I get a little help with the correct syntax for these?

TIA

The 4401 is a Wi-Fi chip isn't it?

What does the output from "ifconfig" (no options) and "sloginfo" give you?

You also have to start the driver with the SSID and network key specified
in order to get the association with the access point set up before you
can add an IP address or expect DHCP to work...

"use devn-bcm43xx.so" gives you the options:

Syntax:
io-net -d bcm43xx [option[,option ...]] ... &

Options:
ssid=name 802.11 network name to use (ssid). Scans in bss
mode.
channel=num 802.11 channel to use. Scans in bss mode.
mode=mode 802.11 network mode: bss (access point), ibss
(802.11
adhoc), or adhoc (802.11 adhoc). Default is bss
(access point).
station=name Station name for this machine. Defaults to
CS_HOSTNAME.
authtype=type Authentication scheme to use: open, sharedkey,
wpapsk or
wpa2psk. Default: open.
default_key=[1-4] Which of the keys given by key[1-4] to use for WEP.
key[1-4]=KEY Setup one of the 4 default WEP keys. Where KEY is a
hex
string of 10 (64/40bit WEP) or 26 (128bit WEP)
characters.
For example, key1=0x0102030405. Can also be given
as an
ascii string.
security=type Security type when not using WEP: tkip or aes
psk=shared key Pre-shared key. Must be between 8 and 64 ascii
characters.
ioport=port I/O port of the interface. Default: autodetect
irq=num IRQ of the interface. Default: autodetect
mac=XXXXXXXXXXXX MAC address of the controller. The default is
automatically detected on supported hardware.
verbose Be verbose.
pio Run driver in PIO mode. (default: bus master)
band=band Band to be used: auto, a or b. (Default auto)

Examples:
# Start io-net using this driver and the full TCP/IP stack:
io-net -d bcm43xx channel=10,ssid=work -p tcpip
ifconfig en0 10.184

# Start io-net using this driver and use 64bit WEP:
io-net -d bcm43xx
key1=0x0102030405,default_key=1,ssid=home,authtype=sharedkey

# Start io-net using this driver and WPAPSK with TKIP:
io-net -d bcm43xx
ssid=ssid_name,psk=shared_key,security=tkip,authtype=wpapsk

The 4401 is an ethernet chip and we don't have a driver for it.

Yes, it is not a wireless board...

The driver doesn't work with this chip???

Any chance of upgrading the driver to support these? (There are a ton of
systems out there with this chip).

I also installed several Linux versions on this system and they all
supported it.

TIA

You will have to go through your sales rep if you want a driver for this
adapter.

Hugh,

Thanks.

I see the source code for the Network drivers is open source.

Is there a chance someone is working on this?

It might be possible for me to develop the driver for this card...

I'm sure it won't be a huge difference from the one supported...

If you're refering to the networking project on Foundry27,
this source it to the next gen stack. The drivers therein
aren't compatible with io-net. However, you might be able
to port over the NetBSD bce driver to the new stack.
There's a technote on how to do this here.
