how to bring up network (QNX 6.3.2. - target PPC5200B)  
Hi folks,

sorry fo tho old QNX-version I have to use .....but I have some problems bringing up the network on an PPC5200B board 
(with slightly changed BSP).

While trying to make some network travel using ping or telnet I only see some ARP requests on wireshark. These requests 
are answered by the partner but that's all. No communication ever will be established.

What else do I have to push on for get it working? What could be wrong with my mount command?

I try to start the driver as follows:

io-net -dmpc5200 mac=ca6a7e000144,verbose -ptcpip #-pqnet
waitfor /dev/io-net/en0 10
mount -T io-net devn-mpc5200.so
ifconfig en0 192.168.0.100 

QNX complains about impropper mounting:
                                
mount: Can't mount / (type io-net)        
mount: Possible reason: Invalid argument  

No error is vissible at sloginfo: ('mpc5200_init ...' is no error, it was coded in the driver just for see it starting)
