Problem with Ethernet controller 82579LM driver on X86 target  
We have two Ethernet ports on our X86 target – 82574L and 82579LM. But the o/p of the ifconfig command shows only one 
Ethernet port wm0 (82574L). We tried following commands as suggested in one of the posts in the forum, to kill and 
restart the io-pkt process. 

slay io-pkt-v4-hc 
io-pkt-v4-hc -de1000

Still we could see only one Ethernet port wm0 as earlier.

Then we have used the network driver devnp-e1000 from the ‘Generic x86 BIOS_APIC BSP’.  We have used the same commands
 as mentioned above. Now the ifconfig shows both the Ethernet ports wm0 and wm1. But the problem is we are not able to 
use both the ports simultaneously. 
We did the following:
1] Connected two host PCs to target (PC1 on wm0 and PC2 on wm1)
2] Boot target and configure the IP address of both the Ethernet ports
3] At first, communication between PC1 and wm0 was tested by pinging each other
4] Communication was successful
5] Then, communication between PC2 and wm1 was tested by pinging each other
6] No response from the both the ends
7] Target was restarted and IP addresses of both the ports were configured
9] This time, communication between PC2 and wm1 was tested first by pinging each other
10] Communication was successful
11] Then, communication between PC1 and wm0 was tested by pinging each other
12] No response from the both the ends

How to make both the ports work at the same time?

We are using QNX 6.5.0SP1

What IP addresses are you using, the can't be from the same subnet.

Check output if netinfo for stats about packets yranission, it might hold a clue.

If you are configuring both ports on the same subnet, you can¹t do this.
Each port must be on a different subnet.

Re: Problem with Ethernet controller 82579LM driver on X86 target  
We tried with different subnets and its working now. Thank you for your quick response Hugh and Mario.

Can you please explain why does it require different subnet mask? 
Re: Problem with Ethernet controller 82579LM driver on X86 target  
I you have 2 interfaces on the same subnet, io-pkt doesn¹t know on which
interface it should transmit data.
