netmanager not starting interface   
The laptop I am using requires a Realtek 8169 driver, the script for which is placed in  /etc/system/devices/overrides. 
The driver loads, but no IP address gets configured unless I manaully run 'netmanager', when it configures exactly as 
phlip sets, both dhcp and manual.

I cannot see why  netmanager does not run, since 'use(symbolic=netmgr) appears as a line after each recognised device, 
including the script in overrides.

At what point in the boot process should netmanager run - or must it be started by adding to later scripts?

Why don't you just add the device to the 'net' enumeration file?

Re: netmanager not starting interface   
Cos when I do, netmanager (started manually) no longer configures it!. Weird eh?
The chip is actually a 8167 did and the 8169 driver may signal an error that prevents enum-devices from completing 
properly.

You've guessed I am totally new to QNX, although have used *IX for a long time.

It does appear that netmanager SHOULD run at the completion of enum-devices, using the macro generated command, but 
doesn't.

I may just resort to including it ( along with inetd) in rc.local. I hate not knowing why things don't work the way I 
expect. ( Although it's usually my expectations that are wrong)

Re: netmanager not starting interface   
Do you have an /etc/net.cfg file? If you do, then netmanager should run
once the driver is started. What error does the driver signal and what
version of the O/S are you running?
