Problem with devn-tigon3.so  
Hi,

I'm trying to get a PC (running QNX 6.3.2) on the network, using the PCI based Broadcom 5782 NIC. Here is the card 
information as provided by "pci" command:

Class            = Network (Ethernet)
Vendor ID        = 14e4h, Broadcom Corporation
Device ID        = 1696h, NetXtreme BCM5782 Gigabit Ethernet
PCI Index        = 0h
PCI Mem Address  = fc500000h enabled
PCI Int Pin      = INT A
Interrupt Line   = 5
CPU Interrupt    = 5h

The network card works fine when booted using Linux & using tg3 (linux) driver. However, since the QNX system did not 
automatically start a driver, I tried starting the trigon3 driver manually:

io-net -d tigon3 verbose -p tcpip
io-net -d tigon3 verbose=4 -p tcpip
io-net -d tigon3 verbose -p tcpip &
io-net -d tigon3 verbose=4 -p tcpip &

For each of the above commands, I observe the same behaviour - the ethernet card is not detected ("ifconfig" just shows 
me the loopback device lo0, although "ps -eaf" shows io-net (with tigon3 driver) is still running). There is no output 
on the console or in sloginfo about any anything related to devn-tigon3.so.

Please note that I did not build any new driver. I think io-net is automatically using the one available in /lib/dll.

Am I missing something here? Is my network card supported?

Thanks,

Rajat
