Re: Network card drivers and Graphic card drivers
Hi Oleg:
Thanks .
Do you know when the chip set might be verified ?
We are in the situation of trying to approve this computer for our
software product as soon as we can and
the issue that confronts us is one of slot availability.
We are used to having three PCI slots available for :
network card,graphic card and SCSI card (Adaptec 2940AU).
However newer computers have cut back on PCI slots and are supplying
more PCI Express slots.
So we are looking for a driver that supports a PCI Express card.
We were using the Intel PRO 1000 PT Desktop adapter which used the
Net.i82540 driver and ran in a X1 PCI Express slot.
However the HPZ400 computer does not come with an X1 PCI Express
slot.
We tried the Intel PRO 1000 PT Desktop Adapter card in the X8 slot (
which fit okay) but it did not work.
So we need to find a new PCI Express card ( X8 or X16) to use with an
appropriate QNX driver as soon as we can.
I am curious though as to why the updated drivers list for Net.e1000
has this chipset listed if it has not been verified yet ?
- Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
82574L chip must be supported by Net.e1000, but we haven't verified it
yet.
We can notify you when we'll check Net.e1000 on this chip.
