>Description:
the xl driver I'm using for my 3com manageable NIC's
xl0: <3Com 3c905C-TX Fast Etherlink XL> port 0xa400-0xa47f mem 0xd5800000-0xd580007f irq 5 at device 10.0 on pci0
xl1: <3Com 3c905C-TX Fast Etherlink XL> port 0xa000-0xa07f mem 0xd5000000-0xd500007f irq 11 at device 12.0 on pci0
do not work on normal installations unless they are put in promiscious mode. tcpdump shows traffic as incoming but it is not acknowledged, but when in promiscious mode it works ok.
xl0: flags=28943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
options=9<RXCSUM,VLAN_MTU>
>How-To-Repeat:
Just install the NIC without promisc. mode.
>Fix:
No correct fix is known. I have to ifconfig xl0 promisc to get it to work for now.. I haven't had any time to look into a fix.
