Title Initialization error 04 when starting second network card.
Ref. No. QNX.000004715
Category(ies) Network, Configuration
Issue We are trying to start our second network card with 'Net.ether21x4x -l2 &' but we're getting a 'Initialization error 04' error. 

Solution It's possible that the first network card is already talking to this interface.  Run 'netinfo -l', and if the message:

Total Number Of Net Driver Slots: 2

Driver Slot 0:  Driver Pid 5  Logical Net 2  Network Card: Ethernet/ne1000/2000
(or compatible)

    Ethernet Physical Node ID ........ 0x00C093 02546B
    I/O Port Range ................... 0x300 -> 0x31F
    Hardware Interrupt ............... 10
    RAM Size (KB) .................... 16

comes up for the first card, then this means that the first network card is talking to lan 2, and there can only be one network card talking to each interface.  To remedy the problem, use 'Net.ether21x4x -l1 &'
