i had a somewhat different problem, i just got a micron laptop with a 3com etherlinkIII, pci card. i could see it xmitting packets (arp, icmp, etc.) and i could (on another machine), see the packets responded to. however, the laptop would act as though it saw nothing except for a rare occasion. tcpdump would intermittenlty, dump out a gob of packets (mostly mcast or bcast). it turned out the built in sound card had an interupt conflict irq5 with the pci bus (i think this was the problem). anyway, i finally configured the soundcard to use irq10 and rebuilt the freebsd kernel with this new irq value, i took a hint from the boot process that recognized the sound card when probing (the standard snd sb compatible) card when, but would report the sound card was not configured due to a conflict. that did it, i guess the sound card was left as a rougue interupt thief. configuring it, put it in it's place :) this may not be your problem, but may be worth considering. - rusty Panos GEVROS states: > > i 'm trying to use the Wavelan driver which comes with the PAO-980430 patches > on an IBM thinkpad-560 running 2.2.6 without being succesful so far: > > the interface (wlp0) comes up > i can tcpdump on it and see traffic, > it is also arp-ing > i've checked/configured the card with the dos-based utilities (SET/INSTCONF) > and i believe i got it right (i wouldnt be able to tcpdump otherwise...or > not?) > > but i'm failing to send any ip/icmp packets. > > has anyone experienced anything similar? > any hints or pointers to drivers known to work with 2.2.6/PAO (possibly > supporting roaming as well) would be much appreciated. > > Thanks, > Panos > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
