6.3 network drivers under 6.4   
Can somebody tell whether network drivers devn-rtl8169 and devn-e1000 built for QNX 6.3.2 will also work with QNX 6.4 
and io-pkt?

The seem to, but we'd like to be sure...

Thanks,
- Thomas

RE: 6.3 network drivers under 6.4   
That's the idea - no need to recompile io-net devn
binaries for 6.4 - the 6.3 binaries should work just
fine with the shim.

There have been a couple of 6.3 (binary) drivers
that have had problems with the shim under 6.4, 
but nearly all the time, this turns out to be a
bug in the 6.3 driver which io-net tolerated, but
the emulation (shim) could/did not.
