Forum Topic - running second instance of io-pkt in 6.5.0 gets the default interface down: (3 Items)
   
running second instance of io-pkt in 6.5.0 gets the default interface down  
Hi,

   I'm trying to load a USB network dongle on x86 machine running QNX 6.5.0 SDP.
when I try to load the USB dongle driver using the io-pkt, the default  ethernet interface disappears. So running the 
second io-pkt instance cause any problem to the existing io-pkt instance?
If I slay the new io-pkt instance used to load the USB dongle driver, then the default ethernet interface shows up.
Should I specify any option to the io-pkt while loading the USB dongle driver in order to retain the default interface, 
would someone help me on this, appreciate your quick response on this.

Thanks,
GK

Please see the io-pkt docs:

# io-pkt -ptcpip prefix=/alt -d foo
# SOCK=/alt ifconfig
