Network adapter - PCI Express - integrated Ethernet Controller(s) Broadcom BCM5755   
Hi,

I am a relative newbie to using QNX, I was wondering if the Broadcom BCM5755
integrated ethernet controller is supported.

Maybe.  What's the pci device and vendor id (output from the
'pci' utility)?

Re: Network adapter - PCI Express - integrated Ethernet Controller(s) Broadcom BCM5755   
Its an integrated NIC, when I try pci and pci -v I dont see the adapter listed anywhere. I only see ATI and AMD devices,
 no reference to broadcom. Its supposed to be an integrated PCI-express controller, is there a different command for 
that?

I still have windows XP running on the same machine and the ethernet controller is listed as - Broadcom NetXtreme 
Gigabit Ethernet - there. These are the other properties I could pull out under windows:

ASIC Version: BCM5755 A2
Firmware Version: 5755-v3.29
Management Firmware: BRCM ASF v7.07
Vendor ID: 0x14E4
Device ID: 0x167B
Sub-system Vendor ID: 0x103C
Sub-system ID: 0x280A

I just installed Qnx 6.3.2 on this computer and I need the ethernet access to work. I first realized that I had a 
problem when I looked for an ethernet device under the Network and there was nothing, running 'ifconfig' just brings up 
'lo0'.

Any help on this is deeply appreciated.

Thanks,
Sharath

Hi Sharath:

	If it doesn't show up with pci -v (which I'm assuming that you
run as root?), then there's no way for our drivers to work with it.

On a positive note, it looks like that specific device ID is handled by
the devn-tigon3.so driver for io-net, but there's something not right
with the way that your PCI bus is getting set up since the NIC isn't
visible to our PCI server.

	Robert.

Re: RE: Network adapter - PCI Express - integrated Ethernet Controller(s) Broadcom BCM5755   
I did run it as root..

Is there something I can do to setup the PCI bus correctly or should I just try to re-install QNX and hope that it 
somehow works better next time?

Thanks,
Sharath

RE: RE: Network adapter - PCI Express - integrated Ethernet Controller(s) Broadcom BCM5755   
I doubt that a re-install will make much difference.  Can you post the
output from pci -vvv?  It's possible that there's a bridge in the way
that isn't getting initialized properly.  Not sure how much help I'm
going to be here since the PCI server isn't my forte, but that'll be a
start.

	Robert.

Try pci -n 100 -v

Gosh, the pci use msg sure needs to be updated,
it has lots of undocumented options!

-n X  means to look X buses deep.
