I used Orinoco PC card to realize wifi. And i got the problems:
1)How can i determine the source of the interrupt via in8()?
2)Why the Network Name(SSID), Channel, BSS Type fail to show the true values?
3)Are there any sample codes of dealing with network card available under QNX 6.3.2?

Thx Very Happy

If you want to use wireless, you are best off using io-pkt. The io-pkt stack source is beta and is released on Foundry27. It has very good wireless support.

Thx, rqallen
I learned that io-pkt does not support the Orinoco card. Anyway, the 2 machines can work properly under p2p mode. The display should not be a big issue.

There is a shim (devp-shim.so) that allows io-pkt to run io-net drivers. Glad it is working for you; still, io-pkt has a lot of the infrastructure to support wireless (e.g. wpa_supplicant, etc.).
