Forum Topic - Running two drivers at same time, e1000 and mx6x: (2 Items)
   
Running two drivers at same time, e1000 and mx6x  
Hello,
I can run an e1000 networking driver, it works properly. The command is:

 io-pkt-v4 -de1000 ...etc...

ifconfig shows a wm0 device, and ping and ftp operate properly. 

But then if I run an MX6X ethernet driver with the command:

 io-pkt-v4 -dmx6x speed=100,duplex=1

Then the wm0 device is gone, replaced with fec0. Also ftp and ping stop working. 
 
However, if I kill the relevant process for fec0, then the wm0 interface re-appears, and ftp and ping start working 
again.

Should it be possible to run both of these in parallel? For example, two types of NIC hardware might be populated on the
 board.

Thanks!

‎Start both drivers in the same instance of io-pkt rather than starting two:

io-pkt -d e1000 -d dmx6x ...
